We calculate the spectrum and the total rate of created particles for a real massless scalar field in 1 + 1 dimensions, in the presence of a partially transparent moving mirror simulated by a Dirac δ − δ ′ point interaction. We show that, for this model, a partially reflecting mirror can produce a larger number of particles in comparison with a perfect one. In the limit of a perfect mirror, our formulas recover those found in the literature for the particle creation by a moving mirror with a Robin boundary condition.
We investigate, in the context of a real massless scalar field in 1+1 dimensions, models of partially reflecting mirrors simulated by Dirac δ − δ ′ point interactions. In the literature, these models do not exhibit full transparency at high frequencies.In order to provide a more realistic feature for these models, we propose a modified δ − δ ′ point interaction that enables full transparency in the limit of high frequencies.Taking this modified δ − δ ′ model into account, we investigate the Casimir force, comparing our results with those found in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
