The annihilation of massive scalar particles in one photon in de Sitter expanding universe is studied, using perturbative QED. The amplitude and probability corresponding to this process is computed using the exact solutions of the Klein–Gordon and Maxwell equations on de Sitter geometry. Our results show that the expression of the total probability of photon emission is a function dependent on the ratio mass/expansion factor. We perform a graphical study of the total probability in terms of the parameter mass/expansion factor, showing that this effect is significant only in strong gravitational fields. We also obtain that the total probability for this process vanishes in the Minkowski limit.
