How to observe the vacuum decay in low-energy heavy-ion collisions
I. A. Maltsev, V. M. Shabaev, R. V. Popov +5
In slow collisions of two bare nuclei with the total charge larger than the critical value , the initially neutral vacuum can spontaneously decay into the c…
Stringent tests of QED using highly charged ions
V. M. Shabaev, A. I. Bondarev, D. A. Glazov +7
The present status of tests of QED with highly charged ions is reviewed. The theoretical predictions for the Lamb shift and the transition energies are compared with available expe…
Electron-positron pair production in slow collisions of heavy nuclei beyond the monopole approximation
I. A. Maltsev, V. M. Shabaev, R. V. Popov +4
Electron-positron pair production in low-energy collisions of heavy nuclei is considered beyond the monopole approximation. The calculation method is based on the numerical solving…
One-center calculations of the electron-positron pair creation in low-energy collisions of heavy bare nuclei
R. V. Popov, A. I. Bondarev, Y. S. Kozhedub +6
The probabilities of bound-free electron-positron pair creation are calculated for head-on collisions of bare uranium nuclei beyond the monopole approximation. The calculations are…
