Decay of accelerated protons and the existence of the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect.
We investigate the weak decay of uniformly accelerated protons in the context of standard quantum field theory. Because the mean proper lifetime of a particle is a scalar, the same value for this observable must be obtained in the inertial and coaccelerated frames. We are only able to achieve this equality by considering the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect. This reflects the fact that the Fulling-D...
متن کاملThe Fulling-Davies-Unruh Effect is Mandatory: The Proton’s Testimony
We discuss the decay of accelerated protons and illustrate how the FullingDavies-Unruh effect is indeed mandatory to maintain the consistency of standard Quantum Field Theory. The confidence level of the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect must be the same as that of Quantum Field Theory itself.
متن کاملUnruh Effect for General Trajectories
We consider two-level detectors coupled to a scalar field and moving on arbitrary trajec-tories in Minkowski space-time. We first derive a generic expression for the response function using a (novel) regularization procedure based on the Feynmann prescription that is explicitly causal, and we compare it to other expressions used in the literature. We then use this expression to study, analytica...
متن کاملUnruh Effect in Storage Rings
A uniformly accelerated system will get thermally excited due to interactions with the vacuum fluctuations of the quantum fields. This is the Unruh effect. Also a system accelerated in a circular orbit will be heated, but in this case complications arise relative to the linear case. An interesting question is in what sense the real quantum effects for orbital and spin motion of a circulating el...
متن کاملPair of Accelerated Frames
The four Rindler quadrants of a pair of oppositely accelerated frames are identiied as a (Lorentzian) Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The Rindler frequency dependence of the interference process is expressed by means of a (Lorentzian) diierential cross section. The Rindler frequencies of the waves in the two acccelerated frames can be measured directly by means of a simple inertially moving detect...
