Abstract: The behavior of accelerating Unruh-DeWitt detectors coupled with a spinor field in (3+1)-dimensional spacetime is investigated. For a single point-like detector with Gaussian switching function, the transition probability increases with the acceleration and thus the antiUnruh effect effect cannot occur. Due to the spinor structure of the Dirac field, UV divergences are encountered in the calculation of the entanglement between the detectors. After introducing some UV cutoff $Lambda$, the logarithmic negativity of detectors is shown to behave nonmonotonically with respect to the acceleration. Besides, the logarithmic negativity increases with the cutoff $Lambda$ and decreases with the distance between the detectors. The mutual information between the two detectors is also discussed.
