Quantum Vacuum Radiation and Detection Proposals

International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We first review the 20-year-old results of Letaw on stationary vacuum radiation patterns originating from world lines defined as Frenet–Serret curves. The corresponding body of literature as well as the experimental proposals that have been suggested to detect quantum vacuum field radiation patterns, are shortly presented and some related topics, such as the anomalous Doppler effect and the decay of accelerated protons are also included.
