Maximal acceleration and radiative processes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We derive the radiation characteristics of an accelerated, charged particle in a model due to Caianiello in which the proper acceleration of a particle of mass m has the upper limit mathcalAm=2mc3/hbar. We find two power laws, one applicable to lower accelerations, the other more suitable for accelerations closer to mathcalAm and to the related physical singularity in the Ricci scalar. Geometrical constraints and power spectra are also discussed. By comparing the power laws due to the maximal acceleration with that for particles in gravitational fields, we find that the model of Caianiello allows, in principle, the use of charged particles as tools to distinguish inertial from gravitational fields locally.
