Abstract

The nature of the interaction between a quantum field and an accelerating particle detector is analyzed from the point of view of an inertial observer. It is shown in detail for the simple case of a two-level detector how absorption of a Rindler particle corresponds to emission of a Minkowski particle. Several apparently paradoxical aspects of this process related to causality and energy conservation are discussed and resolved.
