We provide here the details of such expansion, which differs from the WKB ansatz that works well for scalars, to firmly establish the generalization of the adiabatic renormalization scheme to spin-1/2 fields. We focus on the computation of particle production in de Sitter spacetime and obtain an analytic expression of the renormalized stress-energy tensor for Dirac fermions.", optnote="WOS:000332170300012", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1710), last updated on Thu, 27 Mar 2014 10:02:55 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.89.044030", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1311.4958", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.89.044030", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1311.4958", language="English" }
