Quantized scalar field of an accelerated mirror in interaction with quantum-mechanical systems

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

Conformal mappings are used to evaluate the transition amplitude between a quantum-mechanical system and a massless scalar field influenced by a moving boundary condition. The transition probability can bo written in terms of a detector cross-section and the expectation value of particle, number operator in the usual vacuum state.
