Comment on "Background thermal contributions in testing the Unruh effect"

Abstract

Costa and Matsas (gr-qc/9412030) claimed in their recent paper that a thermal bath does not affect substantially the transition probability for fast moving inertial Unruh detector. It is shown that their claim holds only for small βΔE\beta \Delta E. We show that, for large enough βΔE\beta \Delta E, the transition probability is not monotonically decreasing function of the detector's speed contrary to their claim.
