Abstract
We give an action that can be used to describe the production of global vortices in 2+1 dimensions by scattering Nambu-Goldstone bosons. At strong self-coupling the action reduces to scalar QED with particular values of the coupling constants and the production cross-section is explicitly found. We also consider the production of gauged vortices by scattering particles that have an Aharanov-Bohm interaction with the vortex.
