We investigate the weak-interaction emission of spin-1/2 fermions from decaying (and non-decaying) particles endowed with uniform circular motion. The decay of swirling protons and the neutrino- antineutrino emission from circularly moving electrons are analyzed in some detail. The relevance of our results to astrophysics is commented.

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.
