Bound states due to an accelerated mirror

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

We discuss an effect of accelerated mirrors which remained hitherto unnoticed, the formation of a field condensate near its surface for massive fields. From the view point of an observer attached to the mirror, this is effect is rather natural because a gravitational field is felt there. The novelty here is that since the effect is not observer dependent even inertial observers will detect the formation of this condensate. We further show that this localization is in agreement with Bekenstein's entropy bound.
