Abstract
Thermal nucleation of kink-antikink pairs in an elastic string subjected to a washboard potential is analyzed in the classical limit at low temperature. The nucleation rate is calculated analytically for values of the tilt up to close the instability threshold. Numerical simulation is shown to support our predictions in the diverse parameter regimes.
