Hyperbolic recoil and the Unruh effect at CERN-NA63 Open
In this manuscript we examine the high energy channeling radiation datasets from the CERN-NA63 experiment using ultrarelativistic synchrotron emission. To incorporate recoil, we examine the standard quasiclassical formalism as well as deve…

Analysis of the CERN-NA63 radiation reaction data set, assuming the Rindler bath is composed of microscopic black holes Open
In this manuscript we examine the Unruh-thermalized CERN-NA63 radiation\nreaction data set from the point of view of a diphoton Rindler bath. Under the\nassumption that these Hawking-Unruh diphoton pairs are microscopic\ntrans-Planckian bl…

Accelerated electron thermometer: observation of 1D Planck radiation Open
We report on the observation of thermal photons from an accelerated electron via examination of radiative beta decay of free neutrons measured by the RDK II collaboration. The emitted photon spectrum is shown to corroborate a thermal distr…

Experimental observation of a Rindler horizon Open
In this manuscript we confirm the presence of a Rindler horizon at CERN-NA63 by exploring its thermodynamics induced by the Unruh effect in their high energy channeling radiation experiments. By linking the entropy of the emitted radiation…

Gravitational radiation with kinetic recoil Open
In this manuscript, we examine the gravitational radiation emitted by binary systems using an Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled to gravitons. Recoil is incorporated into the system via a kinetic energy term in the energy gap of the detector. W…

Notes on the experimental observation of the Unruh effect Open
The incorporation of classical general relativity into quantum field theory yields a surprising result -- thermodynamic particle production. One such phenomenon, known as the Unruh effect, causes empty space to effervesce a thermal bath of…

We examine the radiation emitted by high energy positrons channeled into\nsilicon crystal samples. The positrons are modeled as semiclassical vector\ncurrents coupled to an Unruh-DeWitt detector to incorporate any local change in\nthe ener…

Resonant phase-matching between a light wave and a free-electron wavefunction Open
As charged particles surpass the speed of light in an optical medium they produce radiation - analogously to the way jet planes surpass the speed of sound and produce a sonic boom. This radiation emission, known as the Cherenkov effect, is…

Experimental Evidence for the Unruh Effect Open
We present a theory of radiation in accelerated quantum electrody namics which is manifestly thermalized at the accelerated temperature. Statistical analysis of a recent channeling radiation experiment implies the first observation of the …

Free-Electron Qubits Open
Free-electron interactions with laser-driven nanophotonic nearfields can quantize the electrons' energy spectrum and provide control over this quantized degree of freedom. We propose to use such interactions to promote free electrons as ca…

Experimental evidence for radiation reaction thermalized at the Fulling-Davies-Unruh temperature Open
We examine the radiation reaction imparted on an electron accelerating and radiating in an optical medium. The radiation reaction of the electron is incorporated by modeling it as an Unruh-DeWitt detector and setting the energy gap equal t…

Asymptotic Precision Corrections to Radiation Reaction Open
The radiative correction to the equation of motion for a moving charged particle is one of the oldest open problems in physics. The problem originates in the emission of radiation by an accelerated charge, which must result in a loss of en…
