Third sound detectors in accelerated motion

Abstract: Using a laser as a local detector of superfluid helium-4 surface modes, known as third sound waves, we propose an experiment to probe observer-dependence in detector response. By moving the interaction point along a circular trajectory, the response can be compared with its inertial counterpart. Disagreement between the two is a manifestation of the Unruh effect, predicting that the uniformly accelerated observer will experience a temperature in empty space. Third sound waves propagate in an effective spacetim… Show more

“…We presented in this Proceeding a detailed derivation of an effective field theory for the nonlinear dynamics of interfacial waves between two fluids based on prior work on fluid dynamics [15,20]. By focusing on specific approximate cases, we reviewed previous linear simulators for flat and inflationary spacetimes as in [6] and [26], and built-up a framework that can be used to investigate interacting field theories. In the latter case, we exemplified this by simulating the nonlinear onset and subsequent particle decay of reheating in inflationary cosmology, in line with [14].…”

“…Notable examples include measurements of analogue Hawking radiation [37] around various effective horizons [7,8,10,38], and analogue black hole phenomena in dispersive draining vortex flows [11,12]. Building on the firm foundations laid by these previous simulators, recent developments are motivating and driving the extension of the underlying quantum field theories [26,14,23,6], fostering a symbiosis between experiment and theory within analogue gravity. This definition indicates that D j is an asymmetric, dimensionless, square matrix.…”

“…Phenomena similar to the Unruh effect exist also for non-linear uniform motion [8][9][10], including uniform circular motion [11][12][13][14][15]. Experimental interest in the circular motion Unruh effect has a long standing [16][17][18][19][20][21][22], in which a new angle was opened by recent proposals [23][24][25][26] to utilise the analogue spacetime that occurs in nonrelativistic laboratory systems [27][28][29].…”
