Construction of non-Abelian electric strings

Abstract

We detail the construction of electric string solutions in SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with a scalar in the fundamental representation and discuss the properties of the solution. We show that Schwinger gluon pair production in the electric string background is absent. A similar construction in other models, such as with an adjoint scalar field and the electroweak model, does not yield solutions.
