Radiation from perfect mirrors starting from rest and accelerating forever and the black body spectrum
Abstract
We address the question of radiation emission from a perfect mirror that starts from rest and follows the trajectory z = - ln(cosh t) until t → ∞. We show that a correct derivation of the black body spectrum via the calculation of the Bogolubov amplitudes requires consideration of the whole trajectory and not just of its asymptotic part.
