Description
The possibility of triggering the QCD phase transition using the Unruh effect is considered. We use Chiral Perturbation Theory at leading order and the large $N$ limit (with $N$ being the number of pions) as an effective description of low-energy QCD, and the Thermalization Theorem to compute the relevant partition function. In complete analogy with the inertial, finite-temperature case, we obtain that chiral symmetry is restored for uniformly accelerated observers with acceleration $a$ larger than the critical value $a_c=4\pi f_\pi$, with $f_\pi$ being the pion decay constant.
