Quantum radiation from spherical mirrors

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We consider mirrors of the spherical shape, that can expand or contract. Due to the excitation of the vacuum around, some spherical waves radiated from vibrating mirrors are encountered. Using experience from well-known literature on studies of two-dimensional conformal models, we adopt a similar framework to investigate such quantum phenomena in four dimensions. We calculate quantum averages of the energy-momentum tensor for s-wave approximation.
