| contents | We consider the creation of kink-antikink pairs of a scalar field $ϕ$ by the scattering of classical wavepackets of a second scalar field, $ψ$, when there are no direct interactions between $ϕ$ and $ψ$. The creation becomes possible only due to a quantum field that interacts with both $ϕ$ and $ψ$. We scan parameter space and find it favorable for kink production when the initial wavepackets have large total energy and wide spatial extent but scatter at low velocities. |
