Higher orders for cosmological phase transitions: a global study in a Yukawa model
Oliver Gould, Cheng Xie
We perform a state-of-the-art global study of the cosmological thermal histories of a simple Yukawa model, and find higher perturbative orders to be important for determining both…

Observing Thermal Schwinger Pair Production
Oliver Gould, Stuart Mangles, Arttu Rajantie +2
We study the possibility of observing Schwinger pair production enhanced by a thermal bath of photons. We consider the full range of temperatures and electric field intensities fro…

Worldline sphaleron for thermal Schwinger pair production
Oliver Gould, Arttu Rajantie, Cheng Xie
With increasing temperatures, Schwinger pair production changes from a quantum tunnelling to a classical, thermal process, determined by a worldline sphaleron. We show this and cal…
