Abstract
We present a new operator solution of the Schwinger model, i.e., of massless quantum electrodynamics in 1 + 1 dimensions in the temporal gauge A 0 = 0. This gauge is well-suited for the treatment of static external charges. The energy functional reflects the immediate onset of pair creation of massless fermions. We show that every point charge is screened completely by a Yukawa-like polarization charge cloud of radius π e , e the coupling constant.
