Can a Unruh Detector Feel a Cosmic String?
Abstract
Unruh's detector calculation is used to study the effect of the defect angle β in a space-time with a cosmic string for both the excitation and deexcitation cases. It is found that a rotating detector results in a non-zero effect for both finite (small) and infinite (large) time.
