D PY 2010 BP 2371 EP 2377 VL 19 IS 14 DI 10.1142/S0218271810018463 LA English AB Hawking's prediction of thermal radiation by black holes has been shown by Unruh to be expected also in condensed matter systems. We show here that in a black hole-like configuration realized in a BEC this particle-creation does indeed take place and can be unambiguously identified via a characteristic pattern in the density-density correlations. This opens the concrete possibility of the experimental verification of this effect. ER
