Is the Hamilton Density Diagonalizable?

[>>S/Z<<]

Homework Statement

I'm working with a complex scalar field with the lagrange density $$L= \partial_{\mu} \phi^{\ast} \partial^{\mu} \phi - m^2 \phi^{\ast} \phi$$ And I've shown that's its hamilton density $$H= \int d^3 x ( \pi^{\ast} \pi + \nabla \phi^{\ast} \cdot \nabla \phi + m^2 \phi^{\ast} \phi )$$

Now the annihilation and creation operateurs are introduced. And I have to show that hamilton density H is diagonalizable by writing
$$\phi(x) = d^3 p \left( \frac{1}{(2 \pi)^3} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2E_p}} (a_{\vec{p}} e ^{-i p \cdot x} + b_{\vec{p}}^{\dagger} e^{ip \cdot x}) \right)$$

I also have to show that the theory contains two particles with mass m. How do I do this? I don't really know how to get started? Neither with how to show it is diagonalizable or how to find the masses:(

Use this to calculate an expression for $\phi^*(x)$ (Most physicists use ${}^{\dagger}$ instead of ${}^{*}$ for Hermitian conjugation ), $\mathbf{\nabla}\phi(x)$, $(\mathbf{\nabla}\phi(x))^*$ and then $H$. Carry out the integration over [tex]x[/itex], and you should get something like <br /> <br /> $$H=\int\int d^3pd^3p' f(\textbf{p},\textbf{p}') \delta(\textbf{p}-\textbf{p}')$$<br /> <br /> The presence of the delta function means that all non-diagonal elements vanish (since it is zero when $\textbf{p}\neq\textbf{p}'$ ).[/tex]
