  We investigate accelerated Unruh-deWitt detectors as a model for particle
decay. We find non-trivial decay rates, including a pattern of peaks in decay
rate that extends to lower accelerations. Applying our model to the alpha decay
of $\mathrm{^{210}Po}$, we find that effects could be observed with an
acceleration of $a\approx 10^{26} \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}^2}$ as long as
that acceleration is controlled to within 1 percent. Although still out of
reach of current experimental setups, other decay processes at lower energy,
such as beta decay, could result in the peaks we find being within range of
future experiments.
