Abstract
The Equivalence Principle teaches us that gravitation,
acceleration, and curvature are equivalent. Moreover we
know that external effects on quantum fields creates par ticles, and this ties together black hole particle produc tion, thermal baths observed by accelerating observers,
and moving mirror acceleration radiation, e.g. the Hawk ing [1], Unruh [2], and Davies-Fulling [3] effects. How ever, we also know that constant acceleration is insuf ficient: an electron sitting on a laboratory table in an
eternal constant gravitational field of the Earth will not
radiate. In the same way, an eternally exactly uniformly
accelerating accelerated boundary (moving mirror) will
not emit energy to an observer at infinity, e.g. [4].
Another aspect of great interest [5] is that asymptot ically static mirrors preserve unitarity and information
[6]. We explore a model that merges these two regimes
of uniform acceleration and zero acceleration and show
that this system can radiate particles for an extended
time with constant power. The system will not only pre serve information but emit thermal energy, conserve total
radiated energy, and emit finite total particles, without
infrared divergence. This model can serve as an analog
for complete black hole evaporation.
