Strong field physics close to or above the Schwinger limit are typically studied with vacuum as initial condition, or by considering test particle dynamics. However, with a plasma present initially, quantum relativistic mechanisms such as Schwinger pair-creation are complemented by classical plasma nonlinearities. In this work we use the Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism to study the interplay between classical and quantum mechanical mechanisms for ultra-strong electric fields. In particular, the effects of initial density and temperature on the plasma oscillation dynamics are determined.

Pair luminosity and cooling of newborn strange star: Color-flavor-locked and two-flavor color superconducting quarks
Newborn strange stars emit an electron-positron pair wind whose luminosity is a near-universal function of surface temperature and stays below 10^46 erg/s after one second; only the large-gap CFL phase makes pairs com...

Probing the transition from classical to quantum radiation reaction in relativistic plasma
The classical Landau-Lifshitz radiation reaction model fails near chi approximately 0.005 in a self-consistent plasma, with the threshold raised by higher density, temperature, and drift momentum.
