The CWKB Method of Particle Production Near the Chronology Horizon
Abstract
In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of particle production of massles scalar field, in a model of spacetime where the chronology horizon could be formrd, using the method of complex time WKB approximation (CWKB). For the purpose, we take two examples in a model of spacetime, one already discussed by Sushkov, to show that the mode of particle production near chronology horizon possesses the similar characteristic features as are found while discussing particle production in time dependent curved background. We get identical results as that obtained by Sushkov in this direction. We find, in both the examples studied, that the total number of particles remain finite at the moment of the formation of the chronology horizon.
