【 摘 要 】

The theoretical and experimental investigation of physical processes in strong fields of different nature (electromagnetic, gravitational, etc.) is one of the important directions of modern physics. Particular interest is devoted to the area of extremely strong fields, in which qualitatively new effects become important due to the restructuring of the physical vacuum which accompanies the creation of matter from the vacuum at modern laser facilities. Such kind of time-dependent strong field vacuum effects can be appropriately described within a kinetic theory approach as an effective instrument of theoretical investigations. A short review of recent achievements in the direction of the dynamical Schwinger effect is given in this contribution.
