Abstract
The effects of reflecting boundaries on vacuum electric field fluctuations are treated. The presence of the boundaries can enhance these fluctuations and possibly lead to observable effects. The electric field fluctuations lead to voltage fluctuations along the worldline of a charged particle moving perpendicularly to a pair of reflecting plates, These voltage fluctuations in turn lead to fluctuations in the kinetic energy of the particle, which may enhance the probability of quantum barrier penetration by the particle. A recent experiment by Moddel {\it et al} is discussed as a possible example of this enhanced barrier penetration probability.
