Non-Minimal Coupling and Particle Creation Through a Bounce

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: On a cosmological bounce background with a single minimum of the scale factor and unit duration, in units set by that duration, the quantities reported here are obtained by direct numerical evolution of the field modes from the contracting branch to the expanding branch. At the conformal value the occupation is 1.233e-32, again at the numerical floor, confirming the algebraic prediction inside the computation. Minimal coupling, xi equal to zero, gives 3.281e-01. The calculation is performed on a stated model background with stated vacuum conventions, and the code and full-precision output are deposited with the paper. This study is simulated and computed from those assumptions; it is not a measurement.
