contents The Unruh effect, predicting a thermal reservoir for accelerating systems, calls for a more refined understanding of measurement processes involving quantum systems as thermometers. Conventional models fail to account for the inherent spatial extent of the thermometer, neglecting the complexities associated with accelerated extended quantum systems. Our work builds upon the seminal work of Bell, Hughes, and Leinaas. We propose a refined thermometer model incorporating a spin-1/2 particle where the spin acts as a temperature indicator. This refined model demonstrates the ability to effectively measure the temperature under specific, realistic conditions, providing a unique value that essentially averages the local Unruh temperatures throughout the extended quantum system acting as the thermometer.
