Effects of super-Gaussian pulse shape and relative phase on dynamically assisted pair production in spatially inhomogeneous electric fields with frequency chirping
Abstract
We investigate the effects of super-Gaussian pulse shapes on dynamically assisted pair production in spatially inhomogeneous electric fields with frequency chirping within the framework of the (1+1)-dimensional Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism. The analysis is carried out for both single-color fields and dynamically assisted two-color combined fields by varying the chirp parameter, super-Gaussian pulse shape, and the spatial scale of the external field. Our results are presented in terms of the reduced momentum distribution and the total particle yield, revealing that the interplay between pulse shaping, spatial inhomogeneity, frequency chirping, and dynamical assistance can significantly modify the pair-production dynamics. In particular, chirping substantially enhances the absolute pair-production yield and reshapes the momentum spectrum, with chirping of the weak component being particularly effective, while simultaneous chirping of both components produces the largest yields. The super-Gaussian order has a relatively modest influence on strong-field production, while increasing the flat-top character of the pulse enhances spectral structures and momentum redistribution in the weak and dynamically assisted regimes, particularly under chirping. Finally, we show that the relative phase between the two field components provides an additional control parameter, with its influence becoming more pronounced for larger spatial scales leading to significant changes in the momentum-space structure. Overall, our results provide a useful reference for optimal control of dynamically assisted pair production in space- and time-dependent electric fields within a prescribed range of field parameters.
