Leading perturbative pair production by counterpropagating spacetime pulses, equal-energy comparison, phase-directed momentum structure, three-dimensional productivity and duration scaling. Source displays and fine-scale curve coordinates are not extra duties.
Criterion-to-source crosswalk
Locations refer to the article or named preprint/manuscript page, not a figure-file index. Source examples establish scientific identity and robust structure; the task defines required reporting, case coverage and risk-triggered validation. No original source images are reproduced.
| Criteria | Source locations, scientific use and limits |
|---|---|
| F1, F2 | preprint p. 2, Eqs. (2)-(5), Fig. 1(b) Counterpropagating spacetime dependence and phase-specific energy matching define the comparison; field-amplitude changes enter density at fourth power. |
| F3 | preprint p. 2, Eqs. (7)-(8), leading-order theoretical-description paragraphs; Supplemental Eqs. (S1)-(S7) A coherent two-pulse leading perturbative kernel is required, not a homogeneous tunneling rate. |
| F4, O4, I3, M6 | preprint pp. 2 and 4, Eq. (6), Fig. 4 and adjacent total-yield discussion The total yield integrates all three momentum components; Fig. 4 supports broad duration ordering/crossover/productivity, not an exact quadrature target or a slice-as-total substitution. |
| O1, O2, I1 | preprint p. 3, Fig. 2 left/right columns and numerical-results paragraphs Like-phase spectra are even longitudinally; bipolar pulses reach much larger longitudinal momenta as duration shortens while density falls. Panel rescalings are not yields. |
| O3, I2, M5 | preprint p. 3, Fig. 3 left/right panels and mixed-phase paragraph; Eq. (8) on p. 2 Opposite pulse phases break longitudinal reflection symmetry and produce directed support. Exchanging phase assignments with the longitudinal reflection is equivalent. |
| M1, M2 | preprint pp. 3-4, Figs. 2-4 and contrast/yield discussion Equal energy does not equate momentum reach and probability; the spectral-density and integrated-yield tradeoff must be separated. |
| M3, M4 | preprint pp. 2-3, Eqs. (7)-(8) and short-duration paragraphs; Supplemental Eqs. (S8)-(S11) Cosh/sinh Fourier factors create distinct support and fixed-momentum scaling; the bipolar support grows as inverse duration, so pointwise density alone does not determine yield. |
| M7, V1, V2 | preprint pp. 1-2, Setup and perturbative-validity paragraphs; p. 4, concluding discussion Leading perturbation, counterpropagating geometry and demonstrated duration domain bound the claim. Data provenance and triggered risk discrimination are task obligations, not extra canonical plots. |
Formula and convention notes
Source-numbered identities below are paraphrased mathematically. Explicit algebraic consequences and accepted model-conditioned representations are identified as such; they do not add a required solver, plot or validation recipe.
For $E_x^{(\zeta)}(t,z)=E_{0\zeta}e^{(\zeta)}(\sigma(t-\zeta z)/\tau)$ and $e^{(\zeta)}(\eta)=e^{-(\eta/\sigma)^2}\sin(\eta+\phi_\zeta)$, $W^{(\zeta)}=\sqrt\pi E_{0\zeta}^2\tau[1-e^{-\sigma^2/2}\cos(2\phi_\zeta)]/2^{3/2}$ (Eqs. (2)-(5)). Thus the bipolar/like-unipolar matched amplitude ratio is $[\tanh(\sigma^2/4)]^{-1/2}$. The mixed case instead uses the task-prescribed common amplitudes $E_{0+}=E_{0-}=E_*=0.1E_{\rm cr}$; no mixed-case equal-energy rescaling is imposed.
The leading density is $f(\mathbf p)=\pi^{-2}(E_0/E_{\rm cr})^4(m\tau/\sigma)^4\int dp_z^{\prime}G(\mathbf p,p_z^{\prime})|F^{(+)}(q_+)F^{(-)}(q_-)|^2$, $q_\pm=[p_0+p_0^{\prime}\pm(p_z+p_z^{\prime})]\tau/(2\sigma)$ (Eq. (7)). The shared Fourier profile is $F^{(\zeta)}(q)=\sqrt\pi\sigma e^{-\sigma^2(q^2+1)/4}[\sin\phi_\zeta\cosh(\sigma^2q/2)+i\cos\phi_\zeta\sinh(\sigma^2q/2)]$ (Eq. (8)); use the coherent kernel or an equivalent two-pulse formulation.
Total pairs per declared transverse normalization area are $N=\int d^3p,f(\mathbf p)$ (Eq. (6)); $\int dp_xdp_z f(p_x,0,p_z)$ is only a slice integral. Perturbative interpretation requires the declared small-parameter domain, conventionally $\xi=(E_0/E_{\rm cr})m\tau\ll1$; source formal amplitude rescalings do not certify arbitrary physical intensities.
Scope of the source anchors
Figure panels, displayed source coordinates, curve multipliers, numerical grids and named controls are reference examples, not compulsory submission layouts or hidden pointwise targets. Equivalent evidence must preserve the actual physical observable, case, relative scale and discriminating function. Correct data, candidate identification, causal explanation and risk resolution are separate evidential acts. Existing branch-local dependencies, applicability/N/A and descriptive Research Closure rules remain in the case rubric.
