By choosing a fluid source in f (R) gravity, defined by f (R) = R − 12aξ ln |R|, where a (=Rindler acceleration) and ξ are both constants, the field equations correctly yield the Rindler acceleration term in the metric. We identify domains in which the weak energy conditions (WEC) and the strong energy conditions (SEC) are satisfied.Rindler acceleration is known to act on an observer accelerated in flat spacetime. Geometrically such a spacetime is represented by ds 2 = −x 2 dt 2 + dx 2 + dy 2 + dz 2 , where the acceleration in question acts in the x−direction [1]. The reason that this acceleration has become popular in recent years anew is due to an analogous effect detected in the Pioneer spacecrafts launched in 1972 / 73. Observation of the spacecrafts over a long period revealed an attractive, mysterious acceleration toward Sun, an effect came to be known as the Pioneer anomaly [2]. Besides the MOdified Newton Dynamics (MOND) [3] to account for such an extraneous acceleration there has been attempts within general relativity for a satisfactory interpretation. From this token a field theoretical approach based on dilatonic source in general relativity was proposed by Grumiller to yield a Rindler type acceleration in the spacetime [4,5]. More recently we attempted to interpret the Rindler acceleration term as a non-linear electrodynamic effect with an unusual Lagrangian [6]. Therein the problematic energy conditions are satisfied but at the cost of extra structures such as global monopoles [7] which pop up naturally. In a different study global monopoles were proposed as source to create the acceleration term in the weak field approximation [8].In this Letter we show that a particular f (R) gravity [9-14] with a fluid source accounts for the Rindler acceleration. The fluid satisfies the weak energy condition (WEC) and strong energy condition (SEC) in regions as depicted in Fig. 1.The action for f (R) gravity written asin which κ = 8πG = 1, f (R) = R − 12aξ ln |R| , (a and ξ are constants) is a function of the Ricci scalar R and S M is the physical source for a perfect fluid-type energy momentumwith a state function p = −ρ. Note that for dimensional reasons the logarithmic argument should read R R0 where ln |R 0 | accounts for the cosmological constant. In our analysis, however, we shall choose |R 0 | = 1 to ignore the cosmological constant. The 4−dimensional static spherically symmetric line element is given bywhere A (r) and B (r) are to be found. Let us add also that in the sequel, for convenience we shall make the choice A (r) = B(r).Variation of the action with respect to the metric yields the field equations
