Description

The production of electron-positron pairs by electrostatic waves in quantum plasmas in investigated. In particular, a semi-classical set of equations for a self-consistent treatment of pair creation by the Schwinger mechanism in a quantum plasma is derived

Abstract (Russian)

Исследуется образование электрон-позитронных пар электростатическими волнами в квантовых плазмах. В частности, получена система полуклассических уравнений для самосогласованного процесса образования пар в квантовой плазме в соответствии с механизмом Швингера
