论文摘要
我们评估了来自中性的，移动的，非偏见的原子，与量子电磁场耦合以及存在薄薄，完美的传导平面（“镜像”）的概率。这些结果扩展到了一个更现实的模型，即我们为标量模型提出的模型，在该模型中，该模型通过标量变量描述了潜在的电子，并耦合到（也是标量）真空字段。后者在平面上经历了迪里奇（Dirichlet）或诺伊曼（Neumann）条件。在我们对加速原子最初处于激发状态时产生的自发排放率的评估时，我们要注意与某些相反情况的比较，即是面对移动镜的静止原子。
We evaluate the probability of (de-)excitation and photon emission from a neutral, moving, non-relativistic atom, coupled to the quantum electromagnetic field and in the presence of a thin, perfectly conducting plane ("mirror"). These results extend, to a more realistic model, the ones we had presented for a scalar model, where the would-be electron was described by a scalar variable, coupled to an (also scalar) vacuum field. The latter was subjected to either Dirichlet or Neumann conditions on a plane. In our evaluation of the spontaneous emission rate produced when the accelerated atom is initially in an excited state, we pay attention to its comparison with the somewhat opposite situation, namely, an atom at rest facing a moving mirror.
