The passage around this formula
with the proportionality constant fixed by the detector’s coupling strength and dimension — irrelevant here, since it cancels the instant the spectrum is normalized [ 1 , 5 ] . Takagi confirmed the same detailed-balance structure holds for a Rindler wedge of any spacetime dimension, which rules out the possibility that the thermal form is some low-dimensional accident of the four-dimensional calculation [ 7 ] . This is exactly the Planck spectral shape at temperature = a/(2 c ) , recovering the Unruh temperature as this article’s known-theory baseline, not as anything new.
