ABSTRACT

In this note, we propose that an object moving with proper constant acceleration, i.e., a Rindler observer experiences a sublimation (or evaporation) process. In this first proposal, we do not consider the backreaction due to the sublimation. We focus on charged matter particles for the discussion, but for simplicity, we present the quantization of the neutrally charged massive scalar field in Rindler space. The amplitude from the Minkowski observer perspective of detection of matter particles that have been emitted by a Rindler observer, or accelerated detector, is computed in a new fashion. We make a comparison between the Rindler observer sublimation and the black hole evaporation. We present three variants of a new experimental setup, and we show that in two of them, the Minkowski amplitude of detection of matter particles corresponds to that of a thermal process. There is one, however, where deviations from thermality can be found. It is numerically explored.
