| contents | We establish the rate at which the renormalized stress--energy tensor of a massless minimally coupled scalar field in the in-vacuum state of a collapsing null-shell spacetime approaches the corresponding Unruh-state value. At finite exterior radius, we establish the upper bound \[ |Δ\langle T_{μν}\rangle|\leq C(r)\,t_s^{-3} \] from the Cauchy-surface decomposition of the Hadamard difference and the branch-cut structure of the retarded Green function. At future null infinity, we show that the leading coefficient in the late-time expansion \[ Δ\langle T_{uu}\rangle\sim C_{uu}\,u_s^{-3} \] is nonzero, by computing the branch-cut residue explicitly at small frequency and using the Planck suppression of the thermal spectrum at large frequency to show that the dominant contribution to $C_{uu}$ has a definite sign. The result gives \[ Δ\langle T_{uu}\rangle\big|_{\Iscr^+}(u_s) \sim C_{uu}\,u_s^{-3}, \qquad u_s\to\infty, \] with $C_{uu}\neq 0$. The exponent is determined by the $ω^2\lnω$ branch-point singularity in the Wronskian of the $\ell=0$ radial wave equation, the same structure responsible for Price's law. The sign $C_{uu}<0$ is supported by a physical argument and by the numerical mode data of Gholizadeh Siahmazgi, Anderson, and Fabbri. The result confirms their conjecture that the approach is a power law. We conjecture that the same mechanism gives an analogous $t_s^{-7}$ bound for gravitational perturbations ($\ell_{\min}=2$), though the extension to the spin-2 case involves gauge issues not addressed here. |
