On Schwinger's formula for pair production

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-18 v2

Abstract

We present some comments on Schwinger's calculation of electron-positron production in a prescribed constant electric field. The range of validity of 2 Im \mathcal{L}^(1)(E) is discussed thoroughly and limiting cases are provided.
