An accelerated particle sees the Minkowski vacuum as thermally excited, which is called the Unruh effect. Due to an interaction with the thermal bath, the particle moves stochastically like the Brownian motion in a heat bath. It has been…

The Unruh effect predicts that a uniformly accelerating observer perceives the vacuum as a thermal bath, yet direct observation remains elusive [1]. We simulate Unruh radiation in realistic high-intensity laser-electron collisions relevant…
In an FEL the electrons traveling through the undulator are surrounded in their own reference frame by Unruh radiation at a temperature of order 8,000 Kelvin. When these virtual photons scatter from the beam electrons they become real and…

The Unruh effect is a quantum relativistic effect where the accelerated observer perceives the vacuum as a thermal state. Here we propose the experimental realization of the Unruh effect for interacting ultracold fermions in optical…
The Unruh's thermal state in the vicinity of the event horizon of the black hole provides conditions where impinging particles can radiate other particles. The subsequent decays may eventually lead to observable radiation of photons and…
Varying the proposition that acceleration itself would simulate a thermal environment, we investigate the semiclassical photon radiation as a possible telemetric thermometer of accelerated charges. Based on the classical Jackson formula we…
We investigate the influence of Unruh radiation on matter-wave interferometry experiments using neutral objects modeled as dielectric spheres. The Unruh effect leads to a loss of coherence through momentum diffusion. This is a fundamental…
We show that massive particles created in a relativistically accelerated reference frame, as predicted by the Unruh effect, can only be found in a tiny layer above the event horizon, whose thickness corresponds to a single Compton…
Acceleration radiation - or Unruh radiation - the thermal radiation observed by an ever accelerating observer or detector, although having similarities to Hawking radiation, so far has proved extremely challenging to observe experimentally.…
We identify the relativistic-fluid counterpart of the Unruh effect, in which a comoving probe measures a Thermodynamic Unruh temperature. Frame changes in first-order hydrodynamics are recast as a local, time-dependent hyperbolic rotation…
