Description
In this work we examine and extend our proposal from 2018, concerning the new interpretation on the Unruh effect. The vacuum processes in Minkowski and Rindler space are described in detail, in connection with the observers perspective. We highlight the presence of antiparticles in the radiation, which is perhaps the main observation in the cited reference. We present a new derivation of the vacuum energy in Rindler space using the Schrödinger kernel. The quest for the Unruh radiation could be expanded by considering the possibility of detecting the antiparticles in it. A proposal for the experimental confirmation of the antiparticles in the radiation is presented. (© 2019 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
