Abstract

Particle radiation from black holes has an observed emission power depending on the surface gravity κ= c4/ (4 GM) as Pblack hole∼ħκ26πc2=ħc696πG2M2,while both the radiation from accelerating particles and moving mirrors (accelerating boundaries) obey similar relativistic Larmor powers, Pelectron=q2α26πϵ0c3,Pmirror=ħα26πc2,where α is the Lorentz invariant proper acceleration. This equivalence between the Lorentz invariant powers suggests a close relation that could be used to understand black hole radiation. We show that an accelerating mirror with a prolonged metastable acceleration plateau can provide a unitary, thermal, energy-conserved analog model for black hole decay.
