Schwinger pair creation of Kaluza-Klein particles: Pair creation without tunneling

Abstract: We study Schwinger pair creation of charged Kaluza-Klein particles from a static KK electric field. We find that the gravitational backreaction of the electric field on the geometry -which is incorporated via the electric KK Melvin solution -prevents the electrostatic potential from overcoming the rest mass of the KK particles, thus impeding the tunneling mechanism which is often thought of as responsible for the pair creation. However, we find that pair creation still occurs with a finite rate formally simila… Show more

“…In section 2 we first follow the method in [1] to derive the formula of scrambling time in the more general black branes background and apply it to our model spacetime. In section 3 we first apply the transformation of mixing azimuthal and internal coordinate [21][22][23] or mixing time and internal coordinate [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] …”

“…We now apply the transformation of mixing time and internal coordinate [20,21] to the 11D M-theory with a stack N M2-branes [22] and then use the T duality [23,24] to find the spacetime of a stack of N D3-branes with electric flux.…”

“…In the case of (2.1), D = 11 and p = 2. Now we transform the time t by mixing it with the compactified coordinate x 11 in the following substituting [20,21] t → t − Ex 11 . (2.4)…”

“…As pointed out in [3], and investigated in [7,8,9,10] for the model with b = 0, electric field configurations can be obtained from (1.2) by a Wick rotation in the coordinates x 0 → ix D−3 and ϕ → −it, so that t now plays the role of time. By setting the parameter b to zero and changing b → iE one finds the electric version of the Kaluza-Klein Melvin model, which we shall call the E-model E : ds 2 = dr 2 − r 2 (dt − Edy) 2 + dy 2 + dx i dx i , i = 1, ..., D − 3 ,…”

“…The geometry (1.4) was investigated in the context of General Relativity in [10], where no Schwinger pair production for KK particles was found (though it was found some particle creation of different origin). The interpretation of this fact was that the back reaction of geometry prevents the electrostatic potential from overcoming the rest mass of the KK particles, preventing the tunneling that would otherwise give rise to the Schwinger effect.…”
