Abstract
We study quantum radiation generated by an accelerated motion of a small body with a refractive index n which differes slightly from 1. To simplify calculations we consider a model with a scalar massless field. We use the perturbation expansion in a small parameter n-1 to obtain a correction to the vacuum Hadamard function for a uniformly accelerated motion of the body. We obtain the vacuum expectation for the energy density flux in the wave zone and discuss its properties.
