Background Thermal Contributions in Testing the Unruh Effect
arXiv:gr-qc/9412030 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.52.3466
Abstract
We consider inertial and accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detectors moving in a background thermal bath and calculate their excitation rates. It is shown that for fast moving detectors such a thermal bath does not affect substantially the excitation probability. Our results are discussed in connection with a possible proposal of testing the Unruh effect in high energy particle accelerators.
