Moving Mirror Model of Hawking Evaporation

Year: 1994
Type: article
Abstract: The moving mirror model is designed to extract essential features of the black hole formation and the subsequent Hawking radiation by neglecting complication due to a finite curvature. We extend this approach to dynamically treat back reaction against the mirror motion due to the Hawking radiation. It is found that a unique model in two space-time dimensions exists in which the Hawking radiation completely stops and the end point of evaporation contains a disconnected remnant. When viewed from asymptotic observers at one side of the space-time, quantum mechanical correlation is recovered in the end. Although the thermal stage accompanying short range correlation may last for an arbitrarily long period, at a much longer time scale a long tail of non-thermal correlation is clearly detected.
