Matter-antimatter origin of cosmic magnetism
Andrew Steinmetz, Cheng Tao Yang, Johann Rafelski
We explore the hypothesis that the abundant presence of relativistic antimatter (positrons) in the primordial universe is the source of the intergalactic magnetic fields we observe…
Improving Euler-Heisenberg-Schwinger effective action with dressed photons
Stefan Evans, Johann Rafelski
We implement a longstanding proposal by Weisskopf to apply virtual polarization corrections to the in/out external fields in study of the Euler-Heisenberg-Schwinger effective actio…
Singular properties of QED vacuum response to applied quasi-constant electromagnetic fields
Stefan Evans, Johann Rafelski
Employing the Bogoliubov coefficient summation method and introducing the gyromagnetic ratio we derive an explicit functional form of , the…
Dynamic Magnetic Response of Quark-Gluon Plasma to Electromagnetic Fields
Christopher Grayson, Martin Formanek, Johann Rafelski +1
We investigate the electromagnetic response of a viscous quark-gluon plasma in the framework of the relativistic Boltzmann equation with current conserving collision term. Our form…
Emergence of periodic in magnetic moment effective QED action
Stefan Evans, Johann Rafelski
We evaluate for the inhomogeneous static electric Sauter step potential the imaginary part of the emerging homogeneous in electric field effective Euler-Heisenberg-Schwinger action…
Radiation reaction and limiting acceleration
Will Price, Martin Formanek, Johann Rafelski
We investigate the strong acceleration properties of the radiation reaction force and identify a new and promising limiting acceleration feature in the Eliezer-Ford-O'Connell model…
