Quantização canônica do campo de Proca no espaço-tempo de Rindler e interação de uma fonte uniformemente acelerada com o banho térmico de Unruh

Abstract

We perform the canonical quantization of the massive vector field, first with respect to inertial observers and then with respect to accelerated observers. We investigate how the uniformly accelerated source in Minkowski inertial vacuum interacts with the massive vector field through the computation of its total response rate. This response rate is computed with respect to two different frames, one inertial and the other co-accelerated with that source. According with the Unruh effect, in the accelerated frame, the inertial vacuum corresponds to a thermal bath of particles. Taking into account this effect, we show explicitly that theses response rates are identicals. This result can be used to describe the interaction of static electrons with the Z 0 particles present in the Hawking radiation, provided the electrons are very close to the black hole event horizon.
