contents In this work, we explore the possibility of Schwinger pair creation triggered by magneto-centrifugal effects in the magnetosphere of SgrA*. We show that these effects become extremely efficient in the presence of a vortex-driven magnetic field, whose strength exceeds previous estimates by several orders of magnitude. The dynamics of magneto-centrifugally accelerated charged particles leads to charge separation, thereby parametrically exciting Langmuir waves. The associated electric field grows exponentially and upon reaching the Schwinger critical threshold, initiates efficient electron-positron pair production, which is ultimately saturated by annihilation processes.
