Abstract: (APS)
The autocorrelation functions of fields of arbitrary spin are defined and the formal equivalence between quantized fields and random classical fields is shown explicitly. The thermal effects of acceleration through massless fields with spin are investigated; the spectra of the corresponding zero-point fields appear in a uniformly accelerated frame with extra terms which have the forms of (massless) Fermi-Dirac or Planck functions. Some peculiar features of fields of high spin are briefly discussed.
