Description

In this paper we present some calculations regarding the average number of photons produced in the dynamical Casimir effect for the ideal case of two perfectly conducting uncharged parallel plates, using the zero-point energy summation method. We show that it is possible to create intense photon radiation when the two plates are modulated periodically
