Scientific paper

Recent papers by Hinton, Davies and Pfautsch (1983) and Israel and Nester (1983), which claim that the radiation seen by a uniformly accelerating observer in Minkowski space will be anisotropic are examined. It is shown that the results obtained by Hinton et al. are consistent with isotropy while the detector considered by Israel and Nester is unphysical. An uncertainty principle is derived limiting the accuracy with which one can measure the direction travel of a Rindler particle of definite local frequency. In the WKB region where this uncertainty is negligible a corrected calculation of Unruh is presented to show that the observed radiation is isotropic.
