The Unruh thermal spectrum through scalar and fermion tunneling
arXiv:0908.3149 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2009.09.066
Abstract
The thermal spectrum seen by accelerated observers in Minkowski space - known as the Unruh effect - is derived within the tunneling mechanism. This is a new result in this mechanism and it completes the treatment of Unruh effect via tunneling. Both Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac spectrum is derived by considering tunneling of scalar and spin half particles respectively, across the accelerated Rindler horizon. Full solutions of Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in the Rindler metric are employed to achieve this, instead of approximate solutions.
