Abstract
In this note, we propose that an object moving with proper constant acceleration, i.e., a Rindler observer experiences a sublimation (or evaporation) process. In this first proposal, we do not consider the backreaction due to the sublimation. We focus on charged matter particles for the discussion, but for simplicity, we present the quantization of the neutrally charged massive scalar field in Rindler space. The amplitude from the Minkowski observer perspective of detection of matter particles that have been emitted by a Rindler observer, or accelerated detector, is computed in a new fashion. We make a comparison between the Rindler observer sublimation and the black hole evaporation. We present three variants of a new experimental setup, and we show that in two of them, the Minkowski amplitude of detection of matter particles corresponds to that of a thermal process. There is one, however, where deviations from thermality can be found. It is numerically explored.

Black holes evaporation [1] [2] [3] [4] is perhaps the most fantastic prediction in modern physics
We focus on charged matter particles for the discussion, but for simplicity, we present the quantization of the neutrally charged massive scalar field in Rindler space
We have followed the logical arguments in reference [3], where similar calculations have been presented by Hartle and Hawking for a black hole, to conclude that this process is possible
Summary
Black holes evaporation [1] [2] [3] [4] is perhaps the most fantastic prediction in modern physics. It is well known for electromagnetic radiation [7], the probabilities of emission and absorption of a uniformly accelerated particle correspond to a thermal process. We will see how from the Minkowski observer point of view, there could be situations where deviations from thermality can be found These deviations from thermality are intrinsically connected to the uniformly accelerated detectors and do not have any analog in black holes. Notice that when focusing only on the electromagnetic field, unlike for black holes, for uniformly accelerated detectors (made of matter particles), there is no room for introducing the idea of sublimation. They can be regarded as the amplitudes and probabilities of absorption and emission of a screen placed at some distance relative to the accelerated detector We refer to this screen as a Minkowski detector. While φ1 , and φ2 , are the quantum mechanics wave functions as perceived from the Rindler and the Miskowski observer perspective
