# Rindler Observer Sublimation

## TL;DR

This paper proposes that an accelerating Rindler observer undergoes a sublimation process akin to evaporation, analyzing particle detection amplitudes and comparing it to black hole evaporation, with potential experimental implications.

## Contribution

It introduces the concept of Rindler observer sublimation, providing a new framework to analyze accelerated observers and their particle detection, including experimental variants and thermality deviations.

## Key findings

- Detection amplitudes can be thermal in most variants.
- Deviations from thermality are numerically demonstrated.
- Comparison with black hole evaporation offers new insights.

## Abstract

In this note, we propose that an object moving with proper constant acceleration, i.e., a Rindler observer experiences a sublimation (or evaporation) process. In this first proposal, we do not consider the backreaction due to the sublimation. We focus on charged matter particles for the discussion, but for simplicity, we present the quantization of the neutrally charged massive scalar field in Rindler space. The amplitude from the Minkowski observer perspective of detection of matter particles that have been emitted by a Rindler observer, or accelerated detector, is computed in a new fashion. We make a comparison between the Rindler observer sublimation and the black hole evaporation. We present three variants of a new experimental setup, and we show that in two of them, the Minkowski amplitude of detection of matter particles corresponds to that of a thermal process. There is one, however, where deviations from thermality can be found. It is numerically explored.
