Abstract: The expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor and the Hawking flux of a scalar field on a Schwarzschild spacetime is calculated using the zeta-function regularisation of the heat kernel. In particular, massless particles are considered in a spherically reduced dilaton model. The effective action is thereby obtained by the covariant perturbation theory and the boundary conditions are fixed by means of the energy-momentum conservation equation. In contrast to previous approaches the expectation values are calculated directly from the effective action which itself is derived in a straightforward manner.
