Unruh--DeWitt detectors in spherically symmetric dynamical space-times
G. Acquaviva, R. Di Criscienzo, M. Tolotti +2
In the present paper, Unruh--DeWitt detectors are used in order to investigate the issue of temperature associated with a spherically symmetric dynamical space-times. Firstly, we r…
A Gedankenexperiment in Gravitation
Yves Gaspar, Giovanni Acquaviva
In this paper we consider a thought experiment involving the effect of gravitation on an ideal scale containing a photon. If the tidal forces inherent to a gravitational field are…
Tunnelling Methods and Hawking's radiation: achievements and prospects
L. Vanzo, G. Acquaviva, R. Di Criscienzo
The aim of this work is to review the tunnelling method as an alternative description of the quantum radiation from black holes and cosmological horizons. The method is first formu…
Unruh-DeWitt detector and the interpretation of the horizon temperature in spherically symmetric dynamical space-times
G. Acquaviva, R. Di Criscienzo, L. Vanzo +1
In the paper, the temperature associated with a dynamical spherically symmetric black hole or with a cosmological horizon is investigated from the point of view of a point-like det…
