Vacuum instability in a constant inhomogeneous electric field: a new example of exact nonperturbative calculations

Abstract Basic quantum processes (such as particle creation, reflection, and transmission on the corresponding Klein steps) caused by inverse-square electric fields are calculated. These results represent a new example of exact nonperturbative calculations in the framework of QED. The inverse-square...
