Abstract
The thermal spectrum seen by accelerated observers in Minkowski space vacuum, the Unruh effect, is derived within the tunneling mechanism. This is a new result in this mechanism and it completes the treatment of Unruh effect via tunneling. Both Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac spectrum is derived by considering tunneling of scalar and spin half particles respectively, across the accelerated Rindler horizon. Full solutions of massless Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in the Rindler metric are employed to achieve this, instead of approximate solutions.
