Quantized Scalar Fields in Curved Spacetime Background of Thick Brane

In this paper, we adopt the method of quantum fields in curved spacetime to quantize a free scalar matter field in the braneworld background whose warped factor is of the form that could generate Pöschl-Teller potential. Then we consider the interaction between the scalar field $ϕ(x)$ and a classical scalar source $ρ(x)$ with the form $\mathcal{H}_I=\sqrt{-g}\tilde{g}ρ(x)ϕ(x)$. The corresponding S-matrix is given and the number of particles generated by the source is obtained. Furthermore, we get the {particle numbers} in the cases that only ground state mode of the field could be detected and both the ground and first exited states could be detected, respectively. Finally, by the particle number density we define, we show how the extra dimension makes a difference specifically by the excited modes.
