Weak decay of swirling protons and other processes

arXiv:hep-th/0301141

Abstract

We investigate the weak-interaction emission of spin-1/2 fermions from decaying (and non-decaying) particles endowed with uniform circular motion. The decay of swirling protons and the neutrino- antineutrino emission from circularly moving electrons are analyzed in some detail. The relevance of our results to astrophysics is commented.
