Abstract
It is shown that the temperatures which characterise the Unruh effect,
the Gibbons-Hawking radiation from the de Sitter cosmological horizon and
the Hawking radiation from the black hole horizon acquire the extra
factor 2 compared with their traditional values. The reason for that is
the coherence of different processes. The combination of the coherent
processes also allows us to make the connection between the Schwinger
pair production and the Unruh effect.
