# Holographic Schwinger effect with a moving D3-brane

## TL;DR

This paper investigates how the Schwinger effect is influenced by a moving D3-brane in a strongly coupled plasma using AdS/CFT, revealing that velocity enhances pair production, especially when moving transverse to the plasma wind.

## Contribution

It provides a novel analysis of the velocity dependence of the Schwinger effect in a holographic plasma with a moving D3-brane, considering both transverse and parallel motions.

## Key findings

- Velocity increases the Schwinger effect in both cases.
- Stronger velocity influence when pair moves transverse to plasma wind.
- Transverse motion amplifies the effect more than parallel motion.

## Abstract

We study the Schwinger effect with a moving D3-brane in a $\mathcal{N}$=4 SYM plasma with the aid of AdS/CFT correspondence. We discuss the test particle pair moving transverse and parallel to the plasma wind respectively. It is found that for both cases the presence of velocity tends to increase the Schwinger effect. In addition, the velocity has a stronger influence on the Schwinger effect when the pair moves transverse to the plasma wind rather than parallel.
