Creation of boson pairs from vacuum

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

A general theory is derived for the creation of pairs of spinless particles from vacuum in the presence of an electromagnetic field. If the exact solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation are known for the particle in the given external field, the pair-creation problem can be solved.
