Perturbative approach to the problem of particle production in electric field on de Sitter universe

Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of scalar particle production in external electric field in de Sitter geometry. The total probability is calculated using the previously obtained result in [M. A. Băloi, Mod. Phys. Lett. A 29, 1450138 (2014)] for transition amplitude in external electric field on de Sitter space. Then we make a graphical study of the total probability in terms of the ratio mass of the particle/expansion factor. Our results show that the probability depend on the direction in which the particles are emitted and that the probability becomes maximum when particles are emitted on the direction of the electric field. In the Minkowski limit, we obtain that the probability is vanishing.
