Introduction and Statement of the Problem
The kinetic description of the vacuum particle creation under action of the quasi-classical field of different physical nature had obtained wide spread occurrence in the physics of heavy ion collisions, in the strong laser fields and cosmology (see the review works [1-4]). In the case of the electromagnetic field, as a rule, the linear polarized time dependent space homogeneous electric field is considered, A^ (t) = = (0,0,0, A3(t) = A(t)). For such fields the kinetic equation has the simplest form and admits the solution in the low density approximation,
It is assumed, that the distribution function f (p, t) is rather small, f (p, t) << 1. The amplitude X (p, t) has different structure for the fermions (f and the scalar bosons (b),

Here we used the notations: w0(p) = <£ ^ t)|E=0 and a = e2 / 4n.The resonance condition v = = 2rn0 ( p)shows on the one photon character excitation of the particle-antiparticle plasma. For the bosons according to Eq.(3) wb0 = Py .
In the present work, on the basis of Eqs. (5)-(7) some physical observables will be obtained, both for the fermionic and the bosonic fields. The question is about the particle number density of the quasiparticles
(g is the degeneration factor: gj = 4 and gb = 2 for the particles with the lowest spins), the energy density

The Integral Observables
We will consider the fermion and boson cases separately.
The Fermion Case
Firstly let us calculate the number density (8) of the electron-positron plasma (EPP). Performing the transition to the cylindrical coordinate system,
and substituting the functions (6) and (7) into Eq.(8), we obtain
n(t) = n0+|n2[l-cos2vt], (10)
where (b = v / 2m),
nf = aE\ -4V|l-b2|+4-2fo4-b2(3V|l-b2|-l)
24b4mJ\l-b2\

In the leading approximation relatively b << 1 (this condition is a consequence of the low density approximation f << 1) we obtain from here

The resonance denominators in Eqs. (11), (12) show also on the one photon mechanism of EPP excitation.
Dependence 72q (A) and (A) are depicted on Fig.1. In the «dangerous» point b = 1 ( (it corresponds to the energy condition of the one EPP creation, v = 2m) the density n{(A) remains limited while (A) is displayed the break stipulated by absence of the damping mechanism in the considered approximation.

The frequency dependence of the energy density has the form similar to Eq.(10),

The integral has the logarithmic divergence. The regularization procedure in such kind divergent integral is not uniquely defined (the cut off over upper momentum, a few variants of the counter-term method) and leads to some different results. We will use the method based on subtraction of the leading terms atp ^«>. The p-dependent
part of the numerator in the integrand function Eq.(9) is equal to £i(p). The relevant reduction of the divergence degree can be reached by means of elimination here p2 -dependence. Thus, the regularized expression for the energy density of the oscillation part EPP energy will be equal then

The Boson Case

The corresponding energy density has the same time dependence (15), where now
(19)
The time dependent part of the energy density is diverged also (the logarithmic divergence) as in the fermionic case. However, the counter-term procedure leads (in the leading approximation) to nulling of the corresponding integral, i.e.
4r = 0. (20)
Some actual time dependence appears here in the next order (~ a4) of the perturbation theory, that corresponds to the 4-th harmonics in (t) spectrum.
Summary
We had investigated some features in behaviour of the particle number and energy densities of the fermion and boson particle-antiparticle gases created from vacuum under action of a strong periodical electric field. We had limited by the multiphoton domain y >> 1 only (7 is the adiabaticity parameter). Figs. 1 and 2 demonstrate the well known fermion domination in the theory of vacuum particle creation [6] .

Position of the resonance points of the curves no,2W (Fig.1) is rather unexpected: in shifts considerably sideways long waves relatively of the point X = nXc which corresponds to the one photon creation
mechanism.
A consequence of the conducted analysis is understanding of the fact that the distribution functions (5)-(7) (obtained as a result of the perturbation theory) have not «good» asymptotics at p ^ да that leads to the divergence of the energy density and the all highest moment.
The entropy calculated on the basis of Eqs. (6) and (7) has a complicated oscillator character.
