Particle creation in a noninertial frame associated to a nondiagonal metric

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We study the problem of particle creation for massless scalar and spin-(1/2) particles in a two-dimensional space-time associated to a metric with one null coordinate and constant acceleration. We find that the associated thermal distributions are those corresponding to bosons and fermions.
