Hamster - so I guess the question remains, has anyone actually written a paper about the theoretical creation of pp pairs via Schwinger? Furthermore does anyone have a citation to back up the idea that quark production requires the same field strength as complete protons? I find that very...
Thanks hamster. I do not see the link #5 you speak of. I have been searching the internet for some time on this subject with little luck, so its not as if I haven't been trying it! As for "Schwinger critical field" I simply never knew to search for that term. BTW when you say that the...
Thanks again for the further insight hamster143. You have been incredibly helpful. Yes I am aware that sustaining a field of this strength would be next to impossible, but I am only speaking of the theoretical here. I would just like to ask how it is that you know all this good stuff? I...
Thanks again Hamster143. Could you answer me this: When you say that pp require a field three orders of magnitude greater than ee pairs are you saying that there is a certain threshold to reach before *any* pp pairs appear or will you see a smaller number of pp pairs formed in lesser fields...
Thanks for your quick reply guys. A few more questions: In addition to creation via collisions are you aware of any other way that hadrons come about. For instance do charged proton-anti-proton pairs appear, theoretically, in electric fields via the Schwinger Effect? If you would provide any...
Can someone please tell me the history of high-energy electron-positron collisions? In specific when was it discovered that such collisions can create hadrons? Any information would be useful. Thanks.
