"We propose a method for the detection of a dynamical Casimir effect,"
scientists writing in the journal Laser Physics report (see also
Laser Physics).
"Assuming that the Casimir photons are being generated in an
electromagnetic cavity with a vibrating wall (dynamical Casimir
effect), we consider electrons passing through the cavity to be
interacting with the intracavity field. We show that the dynamical
Casimir effect can be observed via the measurement of the change in
the average or in the variance of the electron’s kinetic energy,"
wrote E.M. Sarkisyan and colleagues.
The researchers concluded: "We point out that the enhancement of
the effect due to finite temperatures makes it easier to detect the
Casimir photons."
Sarkisyan and colleagues published their study in Laser Physics
(Detection of Casimir photons with electrons. Laser Physics,
2008;18(5):621-624).
