Hawking Radiation in the Laboratory

We propose an experimental model using the Laval nozzle of a sonic analogue of Hawking radiation. We derive the power spectrum of the outgoing wave emitted from the vicinity of the sonic horizon instead of the created particle number. Our treatment is based on classical theory, and it should make ex...

Description
Summary:We propose an experimental model using the Laval nozzle of a sonic analogue of Hawking radiation. We derive the power spectrum of the outgoing wave emitted from the vicinity of the sonic horizon instead of the created particle number. Our treatment is based on classical theory, and it should make experiments easier to implement. This experimental feasibility is a great advantage of our model.
