Gravitational radiation with kinetic recoil
Morgan H. Lynch
In this manuscript, we examine the gravitational radiation emitted by binary systems using an Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled to gravitons. Recoil is incorporated into the system via…
Experimental observation of a Rindler horizon
Morgan H. Lynch
In this manuscript we confirm the presence of a Rindler horizon at CERN-NA63 by exploring its thermodynamics induced by the Unruh effect in their high energy channeling radiation e…
Accelerated electron thermometer: observation of 1D Planck radiation
Morgan H. Lynch, Evgenii Ievlev, Michael R. R. Good
We report on the observation of thermal photons from an accelerated electron via examination of radiative beta decay of free neutrons measured by the RDK II collaboration. The emit…
Notes on the experimental observation of the Unruh effect
Morgan H. Lynch
The incorporation of classical general relativity into quantum field theory yields a surprising result -- thermodynamic particle production. One such phenomenon, known as the Unruh…
Observation of the Stimulated Quantum Cherenkov Effect
Saar Nehemia, Raphael Dahan, Michael Shentcis +8
As charged particles surpass the speed of light in an optical medium they produce radiation - analogously to the way jet planes surpass the speed of sound and produce a sonic boom.…
Free-Electron Qubits
Ori Reinhardt, Chen Mechel, Morgan Lynch +1
Free-electron interactions with laser-driven nanophotonic nearfields can quantize the electrons' energy spectrum and provide control over this quantized degree of freedom. We propo…
Experimental Observation of Acceleration-Induced Thermality
Morgan H. Lynch, Eliahu Cohen, Yaron Hadad +1
We examine the radiation emitted by high energy positrons channeled into silicon crystal samples. The positrons are modeled as semiclassical vector currents coupled to an Unruh-DeW…
Accelerated-Cherenkov radiation and signatures of radiation reaction
Morgan H. Lynch, Eliahu Cohen, Yaron Hadad +1
In this manuscript we examine an accelerated charged particle moving through an optical medium, and explore the emission of accelerated-Cherenkov radiation. The particle's reaction…
Asymptotic Precision Corrections to Radiation Reaction
Yarden Sheffer, Yaron Hadad, Morgan H. Lynch +2
The radiative correction to the equation of motion for a moving charged particle is one of the oldest open problems in physics. The problem originates in the emission of radiation…
Temperatures of renormalizable quantum field theories in curved spacetime
Morgan H. Lynch, Niayesh Afshordi
In this paper we compute the temperature registered by an Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled to a Hadamard renormalizable quantum field in an arbitrary state, moving along an accelerate…
A Theory of Accelerated Quantum Dynamics
Morgan H. Lynch
The role of acceleration in particle physics can provide an alternative method for probing the properties of quantum gravity. To analyze acceleration-induced processes one utilizes…
Electron decay at IceCube
Morgan H. Lynch
In this paper we apply the formalism of Accelerated Quantum Dynamics (AQD) to the radiative stopping of highly relativistic electrons in ice. We compute the acceleration profile of…
Accelerated Quantum Dynamics
Morgan H. Lynch
In this paper we establish a formalism for the computation of observables due to acceleration-induced particle physics processes. General expressions for the transition rate, multi…
Acceleration-induced scalar field transitions of n-particle multiplicity
Morgan H. Lynch
In this paper we calculate the effect of acceleration on the decay and excitation rates of scalar fields into a final state of arbitrary multiplicity. The analysis is carried out u…
Pinning down the cosmic ray source mechanism with new IceCube data
Luis A. Anchordoqui, Haim Goldberg, Morgan H. Lynch +3
Very recently the IceCube Collaboration has reported an observation of 28 neutrino candidates with energies between 50 TeV and 2 PeV, constituting a 4.1 excess compared to the a…
