VACUUM PARTICLE CREATION IN STRONG FIELDS: STATISTICAL ASPECTS

In the present review we summarize the known informations about the evolution of a strongly nonequilibrium quasiparticle electron­positron plasma created from the vacuum under the influence of a strong nonstationary electromagnetic field. The methodical basis is given by quantum kinetic equations of the non­Markovian type which are nonperturbative consequences of the basic equations of QED in the collisionless approximation.
