Abstract

We discuss field-theoretical and detector aspects of the Unruh problem. We show that the existing variants of the field-theoretical approach do not give compelling evidence for the universal behavior attributed to all uniformly accelerated detectors. We present an example of a uniformly accelerating detector which does not reveal the universal thermal response of the Unruh type.
