Holographic Schwinger effect with a moving D3-brane

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-03-31 v1

Abstract

We study the Schwinger effect with a moving D3-brane in a N\mathcal{N}=4 SYM plasma with the aid of AdS/CFT correspondence. We discuss the test particle pair moving transverse and parallel to the plasma wind respectively. It is found that for both cases the presence of velocity tends to increase the Schwinger effect. In addition, the velocity has a stronger influence on the Schwinger effect when the pair moves transverse to the plasma wind rather than parallel.
