Abstract: We consider dynamics of vacuum decay and particle production in the context of short pulse laser experiments. We identify and evaluate the invariant ``materialization time,'' $\ensuremath{\tau}$, the time scale for the conversion of an electromagnetic field energy into particles and compare to the laser related time scales.
