Inappropriateness of the Rindler quantization

Abstract

It is argued that the Rindler quantization is not a correct approach to study the effects of acceleration on quantum fields. First, the "particle"-detector approach based on the Minkowski quantization is not equivalent to the approach based on the Rindler quantization. Second, the event horizon, which plays the essential role in the Rindler quantization, cannot play any physical role for a local noninertial observer.
