An iterative method for spherical bounces
Abstract
We develop a new iterative method for finding approximate solutions for spherical bounces associated with the decay of the false vacuum in scalar field theories. The method works for any generic potential in any number of dimensions, contains Coleman's thin-wall approximation as its first iteration, and greatly improves its accuracy by including higher order terms.
