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

Abstract

In this letter 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 Ref.\cite{6} 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 of the direction in which the particles are emitted and that the probability becomes maxim when particles are emitted on the direction of the electric field. In the Minkowski limit we obtain that the probability is vanishing.
