On adiabatic pair creation
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We give here the proof that pair creation in a time dependent potentials is possible. It happens with probability one if the potential changes adiabatically in time and becomes overcritical, that is when an eigenvalue enters the upper spectral continuum. The potential may be assumed to be zero at large negative and positive times. The rigorous treatment of this effect has been lacking since the pioneering work of Beck, Steinwedel and Suessmann in 1963 and Gershtein and Zeldovich in 1970.
A rigorous proof is given for the well known prediction of pair creation as it arises from the Dirac equation with an external time dependant potential .If the potential changes adiabatically in time and becomes overcritical, then the probability for pair creation becomes one. The potential can be thought of as being zero at large negative and large positive times.
