The Unruh effect and its applications

LCB Crispino, A Higuchi, GEA Matsas - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2008 - APS
It has been 30 years since the discovery of the Unruh effect. It has played a crucial role in
our understanding that the particle content of a field theory is observer dependent. This …

Local description of decoherence of quantum superpositions by black holes and other bodies

DL Danielson, G Satishchandran, RM Wald - Physical Review D, 2025 - APS
It was previously shown that if an experimenter, Alice, puts a massive or charged body in a
quantum spatial superposition, then the presence of a black hole (or more generally any …

Dynamics and radiation of charged particles in ultra-intense laser fields

SV Popruzhenko, AM Fedotov - Uspekhi Fizicheskikh Nauk, 2023 - ufn.ru
The current state of research on high-intensity laser fields and their interaction with charged
particles is reviewed. Data on petawatt-class laser facilities are presented, and advanced …

Decay of accelerated protons and the existence of the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect

DAT Vanzella, GEA Matsas - Physical review letters, 2001 - APS
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 …

[BOOK][B] Particles and quantum fields

H Kleinert - 2016 - books.google.com
This is an introductory book on elementary particles and their interactions. It starts out with
many-body Schrödinger theory and second quantization and leads, via its generalization, to …

Classical Larmor formula through the Unruh effect for uniformly accelerated electrons

G Vacalis, A Higuchi, R Bingham, G Gregori - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We investigate the connection between the classical Larmor formula and the quantum
Unruh effect by computing the emitted power by a uniformly accelerated charged particle …

Proposal for observing the Unruh effect using classical electrodynamics

G Cozzella, AGS Landulfo, GEA Matsas… - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
Although the Unruh effect can be rigorously considered as well tested as free quantum field
theory itself, it would be nice to provide experimental evidence of its existence. This is not …

Bremsstrahlung and fulling-davies-unruh thermal bath

A Higuchi, GEA Matsas, D Sudarsky - Physical Review D, 1992 - APS
The bremsstrahlung effect associated with a point charge with constant proper acceleration
is discussed from the point of view of the frame coaccelerating with the charge. In this frame …

Role of neutrino mixing in accelerated proton decay

M Blasone, G Lambiase, GG Luciano, L Petruzziello - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
The decay of accelerated protons has been analyzed both in the laboratory frame (where
the proton is accelerated) and in the comoving frame (where the proton is at rest and …

Classical and quantum aspects of the radiation emitted by a uniformly accelerated charge: Larmor-Unruh reconciliation and zero-frequency Rindler modes

AGS Landulfo, SA Fulling, GEA Matsas - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
The interplay between acceleration and radiation harbors remarkable and surprising
consequences. One of the most striking is that the Larmor radiation emitted by a charge can …
