Vacuum Decay on a Brane World
arXiv:hep-ph/0503243 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.71.104023
Abstract
The bubble nucleation rate for a first order phase transition occurring on a brane world is calculated. Both the Coleman-de Luccia thin wall instanton and the Hawking-Moss instanton are considered. The results are compared with the corresponding nucleation rates for standard four-dimensional gravity.
