We investigate the weak decay of uniformly accelerated protons in the context of standard quantum field theory. Because the mean proper lifetime of a particle is a scalar, the same value for this observable must be obtained in the inertial and coaccelerated frames. We are only able to achieve this equality by considering the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect. This reflects the fact that the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect is mandatory for the consistency of quantum field theory.
我们在标准量子场论的框架下研究匀加速质子的弱衰变。由于粒子的平均固有寿命是一个标量，在惯性系和共加速系中必须得到这个可观测量的相同值。我们只有通过考虑富林 - 戴维斯 - 安鲁效应才能实现这种相等性。这反映了富林 - 戴维斯 - 安鲁效应对于量子场论的一致性是必不可少的这一事实。
