EN

The Green function for a Dirac particle subject to a plane wave field is constructed according to the path integral approach and the Barut’s electron model. Then it is exactly determined after having fixed a matrix U chosen so that the equations of motion are those of a free particle, and by using the properties of the plane wave and also with some shifts.
