We discuss the spontaneous breakdown of the vacuum by a strong electromagnetic field as observed in SLAC experiment E-144. We show that the data follow the Schwinger non-perturbative result obtained for a static field.
We summarize and expand our investigations concerning the soft graviton effects on microscopic matter dynamics in de Sitter space. The physical couplings receive IR logarithmic corrections which are sensitive to the IR cut-off at the…
Worldline instantons have previously been used to study the probability of Schwinger pair production (both the exponential and pre-exponential parts) and photon-stimulated pair production (the exponential part). Previous studies obtained…
