A little excitement across the horizon

We analyse numerically the transitions in an Unruh-DeWitt detector, coupled linearly to a massless scalar field, in radial infall in (3 + 1)-dimensional Schwarzschild spacetime. In the Hartle–Hawking and Unruh states, the transition probability attains a small local extremum near the horizon-crossin...
