Dynamical mass shift for a partially reflecting moving mirror

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We consider the vacuum fluctuations contribution to the mass of a mirror in an exactly soluble partially reflecting moving mirror model. Partial reflectivity is accounted for by a repulsive delta-type potential localized along the mirror trajectory. The mirror's mass is explicitly found as an integral functional of the mirror's past trajectory.
