Abstract
The quantum-mechanical evolution of an accelerated extended detector couple d to a massless scalar field is exhibited and the back-reaction due to emis sion or absorption processes computed at first order in the change of the d etector's mass and acceleration. An analogy with black hole evaporation is found and illustrated. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
