Abstract
It is argued that the Rindler quantization is not a correct approach to stu dy the effects of acceleration on quantum fields. First, the "particle"-det ector approach based on the Minkowski quantization is not equivalent to the approach based on the Rindler quantization. Second, the event horizon, whi ch plays the essential role in the Rindler quantization, cannot play any ph ysical role for a local noninertial observer.
