Exact Pair Production Rate for a Smooth Potential Step
arXiv:0906.1422 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.80.065010
Abstract
We derive the exact rate of pair production of oppositely charged scalar particles by a smooth potential proportional to tanh kz in three dimensions. As a check we recover from this the known results for an infinitely sharp step as well as for a uniform electric field.
