Ulrich H. Gerlach
TL;DR
This paper models a pair of oppositely accelerated frames as a Lorentzian Mach-Zehnder interferometer, linking Rindler frequency dependence to measurable interference effects, providing a novel perspective on accelerated frame physics.
Contribution
It introduces a new interpretation of Rindler quadrants as a perfect interferometer and describes how Rindler frequencies can be directly measured.
Findings
Rindler quadrants act as a Lorentzian Mach-Zehnder interferometer
Interference depends on Rindler frequency with a Lorentzian cross section
Rindler frequencies are measurable by inertial detectors
Abstract
The four Rindler quadrants of a pair of oppositely accelerated frames are identified as a (Lorentzian) Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The Rindler frequency dependence of the interference process is expressed by means of a (Lorentzian) differential cross section. The Rindler frequencies of the waves in the two acccelerated frames can be measured directly by means of a simple inertially moving detector.
