On the Problem of the Uniformly Accelerated Oscillator

arXiv:hep-th/9207033 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/10/2/020

Abstract

The particle detector model consisting of a harmonic oscillator coupled to a scalar field in dimensions is investigated in the inertial case. The same approach is then used in the accelerating case. The absence of radiation from a uniformly accelerated detector in a stationnary state is discussed and clarified.
