Velocity effects on an accelerated Unruh–DeWitt detector
@article{Abdolrahimi2013VelocityEO, title={Velocity effects on an accelerated Unruh–DeWitt detector}, author={Shohreh Abdolrahimi}, journal={Classical and Quantum Gravity}, year={2013}, volume={31} }
We analyze the response of an Unruh-DeWitt detector moving along an unbounded spatial trajectory in a two-dimensional spatial plane with constant independent magnitudes of both the four-acceleration and of a timelike proper time derivative of the four-accelration. In a Fermi-Walker frame moving with the detector, the direction of the acceleration rotates at a constant rate around a great circle. This is the motion of a charge in a uniform electric field when in the frame of the charge there is…
