Abstract: In this work, using Jacobson's idea: '$\delta$Q=TdS hold for all the local Rindler causal horizons through each spacetime point', we found that the transitions between the excited and ground state of a particle in a linear acceleration satisfy the fluctuation theorem. The up transition from the ground state to the excited state is an entropy-decreasing process, which requires an external force to contribute equal entropy increase to satisfy the second law of thermodynamics.<br />Comment: 5 pages
