Schwinger mechanism revisited
read the original abstract
In this article, we review recent theoretical works on the Schwingermechanism of particle production in external electrical fields. Although the non-perturbative Schwinger mechanism is at the center of this discussion, many of the approaches that we discuss can cope with general time and space dependent fields, and therefore also capture the perturbative contributions to particle production.

Gradient-Produced Neutrinos
Steep matter-density gradients in neutron stars can produce neutrino-antineutrino pairs analogous to the Schwinger effect.

Inflationary magnetogenesis from non-minimal coupling in large- and small-field potentials
Non-minimal coupling in large-field inflation models boosts primordial magnetic fields to present-day strengths of ~10^{-13} G while small-field models produce negligible amplitudes.
