Description

We investigate the exact behavior of the energy density of a real massless scalar field inside a cavity with one of the mirrors executing a resonant oscillatory motion, satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions at finite temperature. Our results are compared with those found in literature through analytical approximative methods.
