Practical predictions for the effects of acceleration on decay
arXiv:2512.07386
Abstract
We make predictions of the effects of acceleration on decay rate for three benchmark processes spanning alpha, beta and isomeric decay. These processes are observed to require lower acceleration than that required by previously studied processes. In particular for the case of isomeric decay of Thorium 229m the effects of acceleration are found to be tantalizingly close to being observable with next generation particle accelerators.
