Particle Creation in the Bell-Szekeres Spacetime
A. Feinstein, M. A. Pérez Sebastián
Abstract
The quantization of a real massless scalar field in a spacetime produced in a collision of two electromagnetic plane waves with constant wave fronts is considered. The background geometry in the interaction region, the Bell-Szekeres solution, is locally isometric to the conformally flat Bertotti-Robinson universe filled with a uniform electric field. It is shown that before the waves interact the Bogoliubov coefficients relating different observers are trivial and no vacuum polarization takes place. In the non- singular interaction region neutral scalar particles are produced with number of created particles and spectrum typical of gravitational wave collision.
