Veranstaltungseinladung als pdf-Download.
Kurzfassung: There are several fundamental predictions of quantum field theory, such as Hawking radiation, the Sauter-Schwinger effect, or Unruh radiation, which have so far eluded a direct experimental verification. After a brief introduction into the basic physics of these effects, we shall discuss prospects of their observation, either directly or indirectly, e.g., via suitable analogues.
