The 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 کاملNon-oscillating neutrinos in vacuum
It is well known that matter effects affect the way neutrinos oscillate. The amplitude of oscillation in matter can be either enhanced, compared to the amplitude in vacuum, or suppressed, depending on the density of matter at the vicinity of a neutrino. Enhancement is less probable to occur than suppression. This article demonstrates how matter effects can result into non-oscillating neutrinos ...
متن کاملEnergy and Momentum of Oscillating Neutrinos
It is shown that Lorentz invariance implies that in general flavor neutrinos in oscillation experiments are superpositions of massive neutrinos with different energies and different momenta. It is also shown that for each process in which neutrinos are produced there is either a Lorentz frame in which all massive neutrinos have the same energy or a Lorentz frame in which all massive neutrinos h...
متن کاملEnergy Conservation and the Unruh Effect
In this paper it is explicitly demonstrated that the energy conservation law is kept when a detector uniformly accelerated in the Minkowski vacuum is excited and emits a particle. This fact had been hidden in conventional approaches in which detectors were considered to be forced on trajectories. To lift the veil we suggest the transition amplitude written in terms of the Minkowski coordinates....
متن کاملThe Unruh effect and its applications
It has been 30 years since the discovery of the Unruh effect. It has played a crucial role in our understanding that the particle content of a field theory is observer dependent. This effect is important in its own right and as a way to understand the phenomenon of particle emission from black holes and cosmological horizons. The Unruh effect is reviewed here with particular emphasis on its app...
