Pair of accelerated frames: a perfect interferometer
Abstract
Description
The four Rindler quadrants of a pair of oppositely accelerated frames are identified as a (Lorentzian) Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The Rindler frequency dependence of the interference process is expressed by means of a (Lorentzian) differential cross section. The Rindler frequencies of the waves in the two acccelerated frames can be measured directly by means of a simple inertially moving detector.
