| Vacuum Decay Time in Strong External Fields (2008) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| We consider dynamics of vacuum decay and particle production in the context of short pulse laser experiments. We identify and evaluate the invariant "materialization time," $\tau$, the timescale for the conversion of an electromagnetic field energy into particles, and we compare to the laser related time scales.. Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; improved representation of eq. 12, improved figures, added references, improved introductory material, and corrected typos | |||||||||
