Pair production: the view from the lightfront
Florian Hebenstreit, Anton Ilderton, Mattias Marklund
We give an exact, analytic, and manifestly gauge invariant account of pair production in combined longitudinal and transverse electromagnetic fields, both depending arbitrarily on…
Schwinger effect in inhomogeneous electric fields
Florian Hebenstreit
The vacuum of quantum electrodynamics is unstable against the formation of many-body states in the presence of an external electric field, manifesting itself as the creation of ele…
Particle self-bunching in the Schwinger effect in spacetime-dependent electric fields
Florian Hebenstreit, Reinhard Alkofer, Holger Gies
Non-perturbative electron-positron pair creation (Schwinger effect) is studied based on the equal-time Wigner formalism in 1+1 dimensions. An ab initio calculation of the Schwinger…
Momentum Spectra for Dynamically Assisted Schwinger Pair Production
Markus Orthaber, Florian Hebenstreit, Reinhard Alkofer
Recently the dynamically assisted Schwinger mechanism, i.e., electron-positron pair production from vacuum by a combination of laser pulses with different time scales has been prop…
