相对论量子场论是标准模型及超出标准模型的物理学所构建的结构。其最显著的预测之一是安鲁效应：加速观察者会将闵可夫斯基真空视为处于固定温度的热浴。尽管理论研究数十年，但该效应从未被直接观测到。我们提议利用尾波场加速器提供的高加速度梯度，结合向前实验室频率~太赫兹探测器阵列来测量产生的向前束状辐射，并概述量子细致平衡提供的独特特征以从背景中提取信号。虽具挑战性，但这种测量在当今加速器和探测器技术范围内可行。
英文摘要
Relativistic quantum field theory is the structure on which the Standard Model and beyond-Standard Model physics are built. One of its most striking predictions is the Unruh effect: an accelerating observer measures the Minkowski vacuum as a thermal bath at a fixed temperature. Despite decades of theoretical interest, this effect has never been directly observed. We propose to use the high acceleration gradients provided by wakefield accelerators, coupled with a forward laboratory-frequency ~THz detector array, to measure the resulting forward-beamed radiation, and outline the unique signature provided by quantum detailed balance to extract the signal from backgrounds. While challenging, such a measurement appears within reach of present-day accelerator and detector technologies.
