We evaluate the decay rate of the uniformly accelerated proton. We obtain an analytic expression for inverse beta decay process caused by the acceleration. We evaluate the decay rate both from the inertial frame and from the accelerated frame where we should consider thermal radiation by Unruh effect. We explicitly check that the decay rates obtained in both frame coincide with each other.

Decay of uniformly rotating particles
Uniformly rotating particles decay via emission of negative-energy quanta due to the lack of a global vacuum for such observers, implying none can be regarded as stable.
