Pair production induced by quantum electrodynamic vacuum polarization in pulsars

The probability of electron-positron pair production out of the vacuum of pulsars is calculated. Pair production is induced by a super-strong intrinsic magnetic field and a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave propagating along the magnetic field lines in the magnetized pair plasma near the pol...
