Abstract

We investigate the radiation of an inertial scalar particle evolving in a de Sitter (dS) expanding Universe. In the context of scalar QED, the process is generated by the first-order term in the perturbation theory expansion of the S-matrix. The partial transition probability is obtained and analyzed, and soft-photon emission is found to dominate overall. It has been argued that an inertial particle evolving in dS spacetime loses physical momentum just as a decelerated particle in Minkowski space does. It is thus expected that an inertial charge will radiate in a similar way. We investigate the radiated energy and make a qualitative comparison of the angular distribution of the energy with the radiation pattern in the latter case.
