Scientific paper
The author exactly calculates the particle number N of scalar fields which are created from an initial vacuum in certain higher-dimensional cosmological models. The spacetimes in these models are the four-dimensional Chitre-Hartle or radiation-dominated universe with extra spaces which are static or power-law contracting. Except for some models in which no particles could be produced, the distribution of created particles shows a thermal behavior, at least in the limit of high three-dimensional "momentum" k. In some models, N does not depend on the magnitude of the extra-dimensional "momentum" kc if kc is nonvanishing. A cutoff momentum kc may emerge in some models, and particles with k ≤ kc could not be produced. The author discusses these results.
