Fermion particle production as a dynamical casimir effect inside a three dimensional sphere

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the problem of fermion creation as a dynamical Casimir effect inside a three dimensional sphere. We present an appropriate wave function which satisfies the Dirac equation in this geometry with MIT bag model boundary condition. We consider the radius of the sphere to have dynamics and introduce the time evolution of the quantized field by expanding it over the instantaneous basis. We explain how we can obtain the average number of particles created. In this regard we find the Bogoliubov coefficients. We consider an oscillation and determine the coupling conditions between different modes that can be satisfied depending on the cavity's spectrum. Assuming the parametric resonance case we obtain an expression for the mean number of created fermions in each mode of an oscillation. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
