Identifying Time Scales in Particle Production from Fields

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-08-09 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Particle production through ultra-strong electric fields is a well-studied research field. Nevertheless, despite repeated attempts to relate the production rate within the field to the formation time of a particle, the latter is still shrouded in mystery. We provide an interpretation of a particle distribution at finite times enabling us to isolate and, therefore, identify the relevant time scales regarding particle formation in quantum physics within and beyond perturbation theory.
