Unruh Effect in non local field theories

We study Unruh effect for a wide class of non local theories. Using the approach of Bogoliubov coefficents we show that Unruh effect remains entirely unmodified in these theories. However, for those non local theories which incorporate a minimal length, the approach using Unruh-DeWitt detectors predicts a modification in Unruh effect. Previous work shows that this modification may even be drastic. This appears contradictory, with two apparently equivalent methods giving different results. We investigate the origin of the contradiction and show that for these theories, the two methods are indeed inequivalent. We argue that the detector method incorporates an assumption of local interaction that does not hold for non local theories and therefore the method of Bogoliubov coefficients is preferable.
