Title: Measuring Unruh radiation from accelerated electrons
(Submitted on 17 Jan 2023 (v1), last revised 24 Apr 2024 (this version, v5))
Abstract: Detecting thermal Unruh radiation from accelerated electrons has presented a formidable challenge due not only to technical difficulties but also for lack of conceptual clarity about what is actually seen by a laboratory observer. We give a summary of the current interpretations along with a simpler heuristic description that draws on the analogy between the Unruh effect and radiation from a two-level atomic system. We propose an experiment to test whether there is emission of thermal photons from an accelerated electron.
