Abstract

We extend the classic results of the paper P. C. W. Davies, S. A. Fulling, and W. G. Unruh "Energy-momentum tensor near an evaporating black hole" by considering a massive scalar field in a two dimensions in the presence of a thin shell collapse. We show that outside the shell the WKB approximation is valid for any value of rr if mrg1mr_{g} \gg 1, where mm is the mass of the field, and rgr_{g} is the Schwarzschild radius. Thus, we use semiclassical modes to calculate the flux in the vicinity of the shell, and at spatial infinity, r+r \rightarrow +\infty at the final stage of the collapse, t+t \rightarrow +\infty with the use of the covariant point-splitting regularization. We get that near the shell and at the spatial infinity the radiation is thermal with Hawking temperature. We obtain the negative flux TvvT_{vv} in the vicinity of the shell, which is similar to the classic result in the massless case.
