On generation of boost pairs by a constant electric field

The problem of quantization of a complex scalar field in an external constant uniform electric field is considered in the basis of boost modes. The in- and out-regions in the Minkowski space are deter-mined, and the complete sets of in- and out boost modes describing particles and antiparticles are...

Description
Summary:The problem of quantization of a complex scalar field in an external constant uniform electric field is considered in the basis of boost modes. The in- and out-regions in the Minkowski space are deter-mined, and the complete sets of in- and out boost modes describing particles and antiparticles are constructed. The number of boost pairs generated by the field from vacuum in each mode, as well as the total number of produced particles, is calculated.
