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.

  1. Particle production from bubble collisions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Heavy particles are produced in bubble-wall collisions by on-shell partonic scatterings, not by off-shell decay of the classical field, so the earlier rates and their phenomenological signals are parametrically overestimated.

  2. 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.

  3. In-in worldline formalism in pair creating fields

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In-in observables in pair-creating QED backgrounds are re-expressed exactly as in-out matrix elements with a universal non-local insertion, yielding a first-quantized formula for the probability of producing N pairs.

  4. Study on axial fields in the dynamically assisted Schwinger effect

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A circularly polarized high-frequency wave creates an effective axial field that significantly boosts fermion pair production in the dynamically assisted Schwinger effect.
