abstract

We obtain an exact result for the non-perturbative quark (antiquark) production rate and its p_T distribution from a constant SU(3) chromo-electric field E^a with arbitary color index $a$ by directly evaluating the path integral. Unlike the WKB tunneling result, which depends only on one gauge invariant quantity |E|, the strength of the chromo-electric field, we find that the exact result for the p_T distribution for quark (antiquark) production rate depends on two independent Casimir (gauge) invariants, E^aE^a and [d_{abc}E^aE^bE^c]^2.

  1. Non-perturbative quark production and transport in the evolving glasma: the WAGASHI event generator

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Schwinger pair production in the evolving glasma generates hundreds of quarks and antiquarks per unit rapidity in central Pb-Pb collisions, with momentum broadening and spin randomization before hydrodynamics begins.
