Unruh Effect and the Concept of Temperature
arXiv:1212.2409 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/30/8/085011
Abstract
Based on a discussion of the concepts of temperature, passivity and efficiency in the framework of quantum field theory, the physical interpretation of the Unruh effect is reviewed PACS: 03.70.+k, 04.70.Dy
