Abstract:
A study is made of the problem of pair production of particies with spin 1/2 in an external
homogeneous electric field E(t). The Heisenberg equations of motion are found for the operators
of creation and annihilation, a solution for which has the form of a linear canonical
transformation. A system of differential equations that determine the coefficients U(t) and
V(t) of this transformation are obtained. The probabilities of pair creation are expressed in
terms of the eigenvalues of the matrix VV+. The ease of particles with anomalous magnetic
moment is also considered.
