We study quantum effects in the presence of a spherical semi-transparent
mirror or a system of two concentric mirrors which expand with a constant
acceleration in a flat D-dimensional spacetime. Using the Euclidean approach,
we obtain expressions for fluctuations and the renormalized value of
stress-energy tensor for a scalar non-minimally coupled massless field.
Explicit expressions are obtained for the energy fluxes at the null infinity
generated by such mirrors in the physical spacetime and their properties are
discussed.Comment: 28 pages, Paper is slightly reorganized, additional references are
