General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-02-22 v4 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

The quantum tunneling process of decay of the composite particle in the de Sitter vacuum looks as thermal radiation with the effective temperature twice larger than the Hawking temperature associated with the cosmological horizon.
