ALP-mediated Dark Matter-Nucleon Scattering
Wim Beenakker, Daniël Mikkers, Anh Vu Phan +1
We perform a comprehensive analysis of dark matter-nucleon scattering via the exchange of axion-like particles (ALPs). At first sight, this might appear of little practical use, as…

Practical predictions for the effects of acceleration on decay
Wim Beenakker, David Venhoek
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 lowe…

Unruh detectors, Feynman diagrams, acceleration and decay
Wim Beenakker, David Venhoek
We present a method for relating the transition rate of an accelerated Unruh-deWitt detector to the rate of the same detector when stationary in Minkowski space. Furthermore, we sh…
