On the decay of an accelerated proton
We compute the decay rate width of the strong decay p → n + π + for a linearly accelerated proton in both the inertial frame and in the coaccelerated proton frame. In this last reference system we use the Unruh effect, where the proton sees a bath of thermal particles at the temperature T = a/ 2 π ,...

| Sumario: | We compute the decay rate width of the strong decay p → n + π + for a linearly accelerated proton in both the inertial frame and in the coaccelerated proton frame. In this last reference system we use the Unruh effect, where the proton sees a bath of thermal particles at the temperature T = a/ 2 π , where a is proton’s acceleration. Analytical results agree, thus giving a simpler example where the Unruh effect is necessary to keep the consistency between inertial and Rindler frame calculations of a physical observable. |
