Strong field effects in laser pulses: the Wigner formalism

Florian Hebenstreit, Anton Ilderton, Mattias Marklund +1

We investigate strong field vacuum effects using a phase space approach based on the Wigner formalism. We calculate the Wigner function in a strong null-field background exactly, u…

Schwinger pair production in space- and time-dependent electric fields: Relating the Wigner formalism to quantum kinetic theory

Florian Hebenstreit, Reinhard Alkofer, Holger Gies

The non-perturbative electron-positron pair production (Schwinger effect) is considered for space- and time-dependent electric fields . Based on the Dirac-Heise…
