- nabla9 8y agoThe existence of Unruh radiation is not universally accepted or even detected. G. W. Ford and R. F. O'Connell (2006) Is there Unruh radiation? Physics Letters A 350 (2006) 17–26. https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/947a/f319b47bf9eccad97896bcd07550442acafb.pdf https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/947a/f319b47bf9eccad97896bc... >Abstract >We present an exact analysis of an oscillator (the detector) moving under a constant force with respect to zero-temperature vacuum and coupled to a one-dimensional scalar field. We show that this system does not radiate despite the fact that it thermalizes at the Unruh temperature. We remark upon a differing opinion expressed regarding a system coupled to the electromagnetic field
