Violation of vacuum stability by inverse square electric fields

Abstract In the framework of QED with a strong background, we study particle creation (the Schwinger effect) by a time-dependent inverse square electric field. To this end corresponding exact in- and out-solutions of the Dirac and Klein–Gordon equations are found. We calculate the vacuum-to-vacuum p...
