Accelerated Quantum Dynamics

Abstract: 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, multiplicity, power, spectra, and displacement law of particles undergoing time-dependent acceleration and transitioning into a final state of arbitrary particle number are obtained. The transition rate, power, and spectra are characterized by unique polynomials of multiplicity and thermal distributions of both bosonic and fermionic statistics. The acceleration-dependent multiplicities are computed in terms of the branching fractions of the associated inertial processes. The displacement law of the spectra predicts that the energy of the emitted particles is directly proportional to the accelerated temperature.
