The original investigation of Mazur and Papavassiliou is extended by considering different couplings of the scalar field to the space-time curvature and by varying the dimension of the space-time where the Klein-Gordon (KG) field lives. A universal behavior of the leading term in the scattering amplitude as a function of this dimension is revealed.Latex, 10 pages. An extended critique of literature on the studied topic and new references are added. Submitted to Phys. Rev. DGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
