Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāWe show that the particle-number distribution of diamond modes, modes that\nare localized in a finite space-time region, are thermal for the Minkowski\nvacuum state of a massless scalar field, an analogue to the Unruh effect. The\ntemperature of the diamond is inversely proportional to its size. An inertial\nobserver can detect this thermal radiation by coupling to the diamond modes\nusing an appropriate energy-scaled detector. We further investigate the\ncorrelations between various diamonds and find that entanglement between\nadjacent diamonds dominates.\n
