Abstract
We investigate the weak interaction emission of spin-1/2 fermions from acce lerated currents. As particular applications, we analyze the decay of unifo rmly accelerated protons and neutrons, and the neutrino-antineutrino emissi on from uniformly accelerated electrons. The possible relevance of our resu lts to astrophysics is also discussed.
