Critical Schwinger pair production
Holger Gies, Greger Torgrimsson
We investigate Schwinger pair production in spatially inhomogeneous electric backgrounds. A critical point for the onset of pair production can be approached by fields that margina…
Nonperturbative pair production in interpolating fields
Anton Ilderton, Greger Torgrimsson, Jonatan Wårdh
We compare the effects of timelike, lightlike and spacelike one-dimensional inhomogeneities on the probability of nonperturbative pair production in strong fields. Using interpolat…
Pair production from residues of complex worldline instantons
Anton Ilderton, Greger Torgrimsson, Jonatan Wårdh
We study nonperturbative pair production in electric fields with lightlike inhomogeneities, using complex worldline instantons. We show that the instanton contribution to the pair…
