Abstract
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 = 4πf_π, with f_π being the pion decay constant.
