Abstract
The production rate of scalar-Particle pairs from finite temperature ( T) plasma of massless-scalar particles confined in a cubic box of volu me V is calculated. The Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on t he wall of the box. The finite volume effect is found to be quite larg e at T = (2 - 3) X 10(2) MeV and V = [(1 - 5) X 10(-13) cm]3, the nume rical values which have been estimated for the quark-gluon plasma prod uced in heavy-ion collisions at CERN SPS and LHC energies.
