Tunneling of Massive/Massless Bosons From the Apparent Horizon of FRW Universe

In this article we investigate the Hawking radiation of vector particles from the apparent horizon of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe in the framework of quantum tunneling method. Furthermore we use Proca equation, a relativistic wave equation for a massive/massless spin-1 particle (massless $\gamma$ photons, weak massive $W^{\pm }$ and $Z^0$ bosons, strong massless gluons and $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons) together with a Painlev'{e} spacetime metric for the FRW universe. We solve the Proca equation via Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation and the WKB approximation method. We recover the same result for the Hawking temperature associated with vector particles as in the case of scalar and Dirac particles tunnelled from outside to the inside of the apparent horizon in a FRW universe.
