A Theory of Accelerated Quantum Dynamics

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 the formalism of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. This quantum theory of fields in classical general relativistic backgrounds has already provided the first insights into the quantum effects of general relativity. By utilizing this formalism to compute acceleration-induced particle physics processes, we can better establish how the dynamics of elementary particles change in non-Minkowskian spacetimes. To analyze these processes, we present a theory of Accelerated Quantum Dynamics (AQD) along with certain observables predicted by the theory.
