Abstract

We have studied the problem of particle–antiparticle pair creation from vacuum in external fields considering Schwinger's method. The effective action is calculated respectively for scalar and spinor quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the presence of a constant electromagnetic field plus a Volkov plane wave. It is shown that the plane wave has no influence on the process of pair creation.
