Pair production and optical lasers
D. B. Blaschke, A. V. Prozorkevich, C. D. Roberts +2
Electron-positron pair creation in a standing wave is explored using a parameter-free quantum kinetic equation. Field strengths and frequencies corresponding to modern optical lase…
Modern Dyson-Schwinger Equation Studies
M. B. Hecht, C. D. Roberts
The dichotomy of the pion as QCD's Goldstone mode and a bound state of massive constituents is easily understood using the Dyson-Schwinger equations. That provides the foundation f…
The Character of Goldstone Bosons
M. B. Hecht, C. D. Roberts, S. M. Schmidt
A succinct review of the QCD gap equation and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking; their connection with Bethe-Salpeter equations and resolving the dichotomous nature of the pion; t…
Plasma production and thermalisation in a strong field
D. V. Vinnik, A. V. Prozorkevich, S. A. Smolyansky +4
Aspects of the formation and equilibration of a quark-gluon plasma are explored using a quantum kinetic equation, which involves a non-Markovian, Abelian source term for quark and…
Neutron electric dipole moment: Constituent-dressing and compositeness
M. B. Hecht, C. D. Roberts, S. M. Schmidt
Contributions to the neutron's EDM, are calculated using a well-constrained Ansatz for the nucleon's Poincare' covariant Fadde'ev amplitude. The momentum-dependent quark dressing a…
Pair creation and plasma oscillations
A. V. Prozorkevich, D. V. Vinnik, S. M. Schmidt +2
We describe aspects of particle creation in strong fields using a quantum kinetic equation with a relaxation-time approximation to the collision term. The strong electric backgroun…
