“…In a series of recent works [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], the inverse β -decay of uniformly accelerated protons, p → n + e + + ν e , has served as a theoretical tool for testing the very nature of asymptotic neutrino states -mass or flavor. By computing the scalar decay rate both in the laboratory frame (where the proton is accelerated) and in the comoving frame (where the proton is at rest and interacts with the Unruh [8] thermal bath of electrons and antineutrinos), it has been shown that the only way to get consistency with: i) the general covariance of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) [2], ii) the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations [6] and iii) the related effects of CP violation [7] is by use of flavor states. However, due to the lack of feasible experiments 1 and the widespread skepticism on the realness of Unruh effect, one may question the physical relevance of the above framework and the results it entails [4].…”
