On the Threshold for the Pair Production and Localization of Spinless
Particles
Tatiana R. Cardoso, Antonio S. de Castro
abstract: The one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation is investigated with the most
general Lorentz structure for the external potentials. The analysis of the
scattering of particles in a step potential with an arbitrary mixing of vector
and scalar couplings reveals that the scalar coupling contributes for
increasing the threshold energy for the particle-antiparticle pair production.
Furthermore, it is shown that the pair production is only feasible whether the
vector coupling exceeds the scalar one. An apparent paradox concerning the
localization of a particle in an arbitrarily small region of space, due to the
presence of the scalar coupling, is solved by introducing the concept of
effective Compton wavelength.
