On the Problem of the Uniformly Accelerated Oscillator
Abstract
The particle detector model consisting of a harmonic oscillator coupled to a scalar field in 1+1 dimensions is investigated in the inertial case. The same approach is then used in the accelerating case. The absence of radiation from a uniformly accelerated detector in a stationnary state is discussed and clarified.
