Decay of the de Sitter Vacuum
Paul R. Anderson, Emil Mottola, Dillon H. Sanders
The decay rate of the Bunch-Davies state of a massive scalar field in the expanding flat spatial sections of de Sitter space is determined by an analysis of the particle pair creat…
Breakdown of the semiclassical approximation during the early stages of preheating
Paul R. Anderson, Carmen Molina-Paris, Dillon H. Sanders
The validity of the semiclassical approximation is investigated during the preheating phase in models of chaotic inflation using a modification of a criterion previously proposed f…
Validity of the semiclassical approximation during the preheating phase of chaotic inflation
Paul R. Anderson, Carmen Molina-Paris, Dillon H. Sanders
The semiclassical approximation has frequently been used to describe the initial stage of particle production, often called preheating, which occurs after the inflationary epoch in…
