Abstract

In this paper, we study the effect of κ\kappa-deformation of the space-time on the response function of a uniformly accelerating detector coupled to a scalar field. Starting with κ\kappa-deformed Klein-Gordon theory, which is invariant under a κ\kappa-Poincar\'e algebra and written in commutative space-time, we derive κ\kappa-deformed Wightman functions, valid up to second order in the deformation parameter aa. Using this, we show that the first non-vanishing correction to the Unruh thermal distribution is only in the second order in aa. We also discuss various other possible sources of aa-dependent corrections to this thermal distribution.
