How to kill the Unruh effect

Abstract

How to kill the Unruh effect? Very simple, by requiring the Rindler transformation to behave continuously for vanishing acceleration. Then the Unruh effect disappears as we show in the case of the massive scalar quantum field. The main point is that the continuity condition restricts the integral of the mode expansion to the positive energy spectrum, suppressing thus the β\beta - terms of the Bogoliubov transformation.
