Axion assisted Schwinger effect

Domcke, Valerie, Ema, Yohei, Mukaida, Kyohei

Understand

We point out an enhancement of the pair production rate of charged fermions in a strong electric field in the presence of time dependent classical axion-like background field, which we call axion assisted Schwinger effect.

While the standard Schwinger production rate is proportional to $\exp(-\pi(m^2+p_T^2 )/E)$, with $m$ and $p_T$ denoting the fermion mass and its momentum transverse to the electric field $E$, the axion assisted Schwinger effect can be enhanced at large momenta to $\exp(-\pi m^2/E)$.
The origin of this enhancement is a coupling between the fermion spin and its momentum, induced by the axion velocity.
As a non-trivial validation of our result, we show its invariance under field redefinitions associated with a chiral rotation and successfully reproduce the chiral anomaly equation in the presence of helical electric and magnetic fields.
