  We study semi-classical particle production in non-singular bouncing
cosmologies by employing the Unruh-DeWitt model of a particle detector
propagating in this class of spacetimes. The scale factor for the bouncing
cosmology is derived analytically and is inspired by the modified Friedmann
equation employed in the loop quantum cosmology literature. We examine how the
detector response varies with the free parameters in this model such as the
equation of state during the contraction phase and the critical energy density
during the bounce phase. We also investigate whether such a signature in the
particle detector survives at late times.
