| contents | We have investigated the unitarity violation scale of a non-minimally coupled scalar field with quartic self-coupling. This model is widely studied in the literature but the estimation of the unitarity violation scale has not been consistently discussed, especially in the Jordan frame. We have calculated the six-point scattering amplitudes of the scalar particles in both the Jordan frame and the Einstein frame, and explicitly shown the frame-independence of the results. Since the extended target space with the conformal mode is trivial in the single-field case, the dominant contribution comes from the potential of the scalar field. The results in both frames become trivial in the vanishing self-coupling limit as expected. |
