- Description
- We present an exactly solvable example of a non-stationary system, which has an inertial and an uniform accelerated asymptotic region. We construct a set of solutions that are quasi-classical in these two regions and compare the two sets. The Bogoliubov-coefficients have thermal character and show a temperature of <math>a_\infty /2 \pi \,\!</math>, where <math>a_\infty \,\!</math> is the asymptotic acceleration in the out-region. This result is much what one would expect on the grounds of the Hawking-effect. It implies that the natural particle number is not conserved in free Minkowski-space.
