摘要：

A mirror in vacuum is coupled to fluctuating quantum fields. As a result, its energy-momentum and mass fluctuate. We compute that correlation spectra of force and mass fluctuations for a mirror at rest in vacuum (of a scalar field in a two-dimensional space-time). The obtained expressions agree with a mass correction equal to a vacuum energy stored by the mirror. We introduce a Lagrangian model which consistently describes a scalar field coupled to a scatterer, with inertial mass being a quantum variable.
