Pair creation by an external non-Abelian field

The problem of the creation of particle pairs of spin 0 and 1/2 from the vacuum by an external field of a non-Abelian type plane wave on the light cone is considered following the approach of Schwinger. Using simple shifts and only by an algebraic calculation, it is shown that with this form of inte...

Description
Summary:The problem of the creation of particle pairs of spin 0 and 1/2 from the vacuum by an external field of a non-Abelian type plane wave on the light cone is considered following the approach of Schwinger. Using simple shifts and only by an algebraic calculation, it is shown that with this form of interaction, there is no creation of particles.
