AB It has been recently shown that a chiral molecule accelerates linearly along aspatially uniform magnetic field, as a result of the parity-time symmetry breaking inducedin its QED self-interaction. In this work we extend that result to fundamental particleswhich present EW self-interaction, in which case parity is violated by the EW interactionitself. In particular, we demonstrate that, in a spatially uniform and adiabatically timevarying magnetic field, an unpolarized proton coupled to the leptonic vacuum acquiresa kinetic momentum antiparallel to the magnetic field, whereas virtual leptons gain anequivalent Casimir momentum in the opposite direction. That momentum is proportionalto the magnetic field and to the square of Fermi’s constant. We prove that the kineticenergy of the proton is a magnetic energy which constitutes a Doppler-shift correction toits EW self-energy.
