论文摘要
我们回顾了普通量子力学和量子场理论中半古典近似中的隧道现象的描述。特别是，我们详细描述了稳定基态的每单位时间衰减概率的计算，直至第一个量子校正。我们将相关的形式主义应用于Electroweak Itsptootions的标准模型的情况下，其基态对于足够大的顶部夸克质量值可稳定。最后，我们讨论了重力相互作用对隧道率计算的影响。
We review the description of tunnelling phenomena in the semi-classical approximation in ordinary quantum mechanics and in quantum field theory. In particular, we describe in detail the calculation, up to the first quantum corrections, of the decay probability per unit time of a metastable ground state. We apply the relevant formalism to the case of the standard model of electroweak interactions, whose ground state is metastable for sufficiently large values of the top quark mass. Finally, we discuss the impact of gravitational interactions on the calculation of the tunnelling rate.
