Unruh-DeWitt detector responses for complex scalar fields in de Sitter spacetime
Abstract We derive the response function for a comoving, pointlike Unruh-DeWitt particle detector coupled to a complex scalar field ϕ, in the (3 + 1)-dimensional cosmological de Sitter spacetime. The field-detector coupling is taken to be proportional to ϕ † ϕ. We address both conformally invariant...
