High-temperature limit of Breit–Wheeler pair production in a black-body field

This paper presents an analytic expression for the high-temperature limit of Breit–Wheeler pair production in a black-body field to lowest order in perturbation theory, of interest in early-universe cosmology. The limit is found to be a good approximation for temperatures above about three times the...
