Abstract
Both the Klein-Gordon equation and the Dirac equation are dealt with in the generalized Rindler space-time of a nonuniformly accelerating observer. Making use of a new method and introducing a tortoise-type coordinate transformation, it is proved that there exist an event horizon and thermal radiation depending on time in the space-time. The Hawking-Unruh temperature is proportional to the variable acceleration.
