Abstract
We develop an alternative derivation of Unruh and Wald's seminal result that the absorption of a Rindler particle by a detector as described by uniformly accelerated observers corresponds to the emission of a Minkowski particle as described by inertial observers. Actually, we present it in an inverted version, namely, that the emission of a Minkowski particle corresponds in general to either the emission or the absorption of a Rindler particle.
