The extended Unruh effect in the Kruskal spacetime
Originally, the Unruh effect is considered in the Minkowski spacetime. That is, for a uniformly accelerated observer in the Minkowski spacetime, there will be an event horizon, and the observer will detect radiation from it. In this paper, we extend the Unruh effect to the Kruskal spacetime. After defining some special null hypersurface in the Kruskal spacetime, we find that it can be considere...
متن کاملThe Unruh effect revisited
We give a complete and rigorous proof of the Unruh effect, in the following form. We show that the state of a two-level system, uniformly accelerated with proper acceleration a, and coupled to a scalar bose field initially in the Minkowski vacuum state will converge, asymptotically in the detector’s proper time, to the Gibbs state at inverse temperature β = 2π a . The result also holds if the f...
متن کاملThe Schwinger Mechanism, the Unruh Effect and the Production of Accelerated Black Holes
We prove that the Heisenberg-Euler-Schwinger mechanism –pair creation in a constant electric field– and its radiative corrections imply the Unruh effect, i.e. the thermalisation of accelerated systems at temperature a/2π where a is the acceleration. More precisely, the properties of the amplitudes for pair creation under crossing symmetry and CPT are sufficient to deduce the Unruh effect. Furth...
متن کاملDecay of accelerated protons and the existence of the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect.
We investigate the weak decay of uniformly accelerated protons in the context of standard quantum field theory. Because the mean proper lifetime of a particle is a scalar, the same value for this observable must be obtained in the inertial and coaccelerated frames. We are only able to achieve this equality by considering the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect. This reflects the fact that the Fulling-D...
متن کاملSimplified derivation of the Hawking-Unruh temperature for an accelerated observer in vacuum
Hawking predicted that a black hole should radiate with a temperature T = h̄g/2πkc, where g is the gravitational acceleration at the surface of the black hole, k is Boltzmann’s constant, and c is the speed of light. This results from the effect of the strong gravitation on the vacuum field. Shortly thereafter it was shown that a uniformly accelerated detector in vacuum responds just as though it...
