Creation of multiple electron-positron pairs in arbitrary fields
We examine the spontaneous breakdown of the matter vacuum triggered by an external force of arbitrary strength and spatial and temporal variations. We derive a nonperturbative framework that permits the computation of the complete time evolution of various multiple electron-positron pair probabilities. These timedependent probabilities can be computed from a generating function as well as from ...
متن کاملLocality in the creation of electron-positron pairs
We examine the mathematical solutions of the Dirac equation to predict the spontaneous electron-positron pair creation from the vacuum. The Dirac equation contains a position and time-dependent scalar potential to approximate the effect of an external force on the vacuum. We focus on forces that are localized in space as well as in time and find that the resulting creation process is also local...
متن کاملCreation of photons and electron - positron pairs by a neutrino in a strong magnetic field
The processes of the photon and electron–positron pair production by a neutrino propagating in a strong magnetic field are investigated in the framework of the Standard Model. The process probabilities and the mean values of the neutrino energy and momentum loss are calculated. Possible astrophysical manifestations of the processes considered are briefly analysed. Talk given at the 9th Internat...
متن کاملStatic Electron-Positron Pair Creation in Strong Fields for a Nonlinear Dirac model
We consider the Hartree-Fock approximation of Quantum Electrodynamics, with the exchange term neglected. We prove that the probability of static electron-positron pair creation for the Dirac vacuum polarized by an external field of strength Z behaves as 1 − exp(−κZ2/3) for Z large enough. Our method involves two steps. First we estimate the vacuum expectation of general quasi-free states in ter...
متن کاملMultiplicity distribution of electron-positron pairs created by strong external fields.
We discuss the multiplicity distribution of electron-positron pairs created in the strong electromagnetic fields of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion transits. Based on nonperturbative expressions for the N-pair creation amplitudes, the Poisson distribution is derived by neglecting interference terms. The source of unitarity violation is identified in the vacuum-to-vacuum amplitude, and a perturbativ...
