We consider the production of tau pairs by electron-positron colliding beams at the maximum cross section near the threshold. At this energy tau pairs are produced mostly in the s-wave which implies that the spin of the tau pairs are almost…

It is known that strong electric fields produce electron and positron pairs from the vacuum, and due to the back-reaction these pairs oscillate back and forth coherently with the alternating electric fields in time. We study this phenomenon…
