Vacuum instability in time-dependent electric fields. New example of exactly solvable case

A. I. Breev, S. P. Gavrilov, D. M. Gitman +1

A new exactly solvable case in strong-field quantum electrodynamics with a time-dependent external electric field is presented. The corresponding field is given by an analytic func…

Pair production from the vacuum by a weakly inhomogeneous space-dependent electric potential step

S. P. Gavrilov, D. M. Gitman, A. A. Shishmarev

There exists a clear physical motivation for theoretical studies of the vacuum instability related to the production of electron-positron pairs from a vacuum due to strong external…

States of charged quantum fields and their statistical properties in the presence of critical potential steps

S. P. Gavrilov, D. M. Gitman, A. A. Shishmarev

Evolution of charged quantum fields under the action of constant nonuniform electric fields is studied. To this end we construct a special generating functional for density operato…

A note on "Measuring propagation speed of Coulomb fields" by R. de Sangro, G. Finocchiaro, P. Patteri, M. Piccolo, G. Pizzella

D. M. Gitman, A. E. Shabad, A. A. Shishmarev

In connection with the discussion and the measurements fulfilled in [R. de Sangro et al., Eur. Phys. J. C 75 (2015) 137], the full identity is demonstrated between the Feynman form…

Unitarity and vacuum deformation in QED with critical potential steps

S. P. Gavrilov, D. M. Gitman, A. A. Shishmarev

The present article can be considered as a complement to the work P.R.D 93, 045002 (2016) where an nonperturbative approach to QED with x-electric critical potential steps was deve…
