Abstract: We consider generalised versions of the spin-boson model at small coupling. We assume the spin (or atom) to sit at the origin $0inmathbb{R}^d$ and the propagation speed $v_p$ of free bosons to be constant, i.e. independent of momentum. In particular, the bosons are massless. We prove detailed bounds on the mean number of bosons contained in the ball $|x|leq{v}_{p}t$. In particular, we prove that, as $toinfty$, this number tends to an asymptotic value that can be naturally identified as the mean number of bosons bound to the atom in the ground state. Physically, this means that bosons that are not bound to the atom, are travelling outwards at a speed that is not lower than $v_p$, hence the term 'minimal velocity estimate'. Additionally, we prove bounds on the number of emitted bosons with low momentum (soft mode bounds). This paper is an extension of our earlier work in 'Approach to ground state and time-independent photon bound for massless spin-boson models' (arXiv:1109.5582, Ann. H. Poincare, 2012). Together with the results in that paper, the bounds of the present paper suffice to prove asymptotic completeness, as we describe in 'Asymptotic completeness for the massless spin-boson model'(arXiv:1301.2357).
