Abstract
We investigate electron-positron pair production from the vacuum in presence of a strong oscillating electric field with a multi-pulse structure and variable inter-pulse delay. The pair production probabilities are computed by numerically solving the time-dependent Dirac equation. We analyze the resulting momentum distribution and the total number density of produced particles for different numbers of pulses and inter-pulse delays. In particular, we demonstrate the emergence of a characteristic time-domain multi-slit interference pattern in the pair production probability as a function of the inter-pulse delay.
