Title: An analytic description of thick-wall bubbles

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10165957· OSTI ID:10165957

A new approximation scheme to the false-vacuum decay is suggested. In this scheme the bounce solutions can be obtained in an explicit and analytic way even for thick-wall bubbles. The result is compared with Coleman`s thin-wall description, which shows that is nicely comprises the result of the latter prescription. Some applications are also discussed.
