Zero-point field in a circular-motion frame. II. Spinor and vector fields

Abstract

The energy spectrum of zero-point fields of massless spinor and vector fields in a circular-motion frame is investigated. In the nonrelativistic limit it exhibits half-integer harmonics of the circular-motion frequency. The density-of-states factor is of the same form as the uniform-acceleration case, but the energy spectrum is not of the thermal form. © 1987 The American Physical Society.
