Simulating Unruh Radiation in High-Intensity Laser-Electron Interactions for Near-Term Experimental Tests

Rafi Hessami, Haidar Al-Naseri, Monika Yadav +3

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…
