A Dirac Sea for a General Non-Inertial Observer In Flat 1+1 Dimensional Spacetime

TL;DR

This paper develops a coordinate system for a non-inertial observer in flat 1+1 dimensional spacetime to analyze the particle content of the Dirac vacuum, extending previous models to general acceleration scenarios.

Contribution

It introduces a new coordinate framework for arbitrary accelerating observers and derives equations for particle distribution and count for massless fermions in this setting.

Findings

Derived equations for particle distribution and total number of particles.

Generalized previous models to arbitrary acceleration scenarios.

Provided a framework for analyzing Dirac vacuum from non-inertial perspectives.

Abstract

A coordinate system is set up for a general accelerating observer and is used to determine the particle content of the Dirac vacuum for that observer. Equations are obtained for the spatial distribution and total number of particles for massless fermions as seen by this observer, generalising previous work.
