Scalar field vacuum expectation value induced by gravitational wave background
Preston Jones, Patrick McDougall, Michael Ragsdale +1
We show that a {\it massless} scalar field in a gravitational wave background can develop a non-zero vacuum expectation value. We draw comparisons to the generation of a non-zero v…

Particle production in a gravitational wave background
Preston Jones, Patrick McDougall, Douglas Singleton
We study the possibility that massless particles, such as photons, are produced by a gravitational wave. That such a process should occur is implied by tree-level, Feynman diagrams…
