Fermion fields in accelerated states

Abstract
The massless spin $-\frac{1}{2}$ and spin $-\frac{3}{2}$ fields are quantized in the 'Rindler wedge.' The vacuum expectation value of the stress-energy tensor is calculated for the spin $-\frac{1}{2}$ field and is found to correspond to the absence from the vacuum of black body radiation. Though thermal, the spectrum of the stress tensor has a non-Planckian form.
