  "abstract": "We develop a theory based on Bohmian mechanics in which particle world lines can begin and end. Such a theory provides a realist description of creation and annihilation events and thus a further step towards a \"beable-based\" formulation of quantum field theory, as opposed to the usual \"observable-based\" formulation which is plagued by the conceptual difficulties--like the measurement problem--of quantum mechanics.",
