Atmospheric Cherenkov Radiation [PDF]
, 2009 After a brief historic review the basic phenomenology and the fundamental physical process that are responsible for producing Cherenkov radiation in refractive media are explained, followed by the elementary theory of single particle Cherenkov radiation that covers the radiation yield and spectral features.

Calorimetry and Cherenkov radiation
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2008Abstract Cherenkov radiation has been frequently used to measure the energy of electromagnetic showers, for instance in lead-glass calorimeters, and now it becomes increasingly useful for hadronic calorimetry as well. A sizable fraction of cascades initiated by hadrons in an absorber is quickly transformed into γ rays, giving e ...

Cherenkov radiation in biaxial crystals—II
Annals of Physics, 1973Abstract The radiation emitted by a uniformly moving point charge in a biaxial crystal is studied by a new method. Fourier integrals for the field are set up for the general case without imposing any restriction on the dielectric and magnetic properties of the crystal or on the direction of motion of the charge.

On Cherenkov radiation from a shower
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2012Abstract Cherenkov radiation from a shower is discussed in terms of the angle-energy distribution of emitted photons. The Cherenkov radiation spectrum is estimated assuming that the shower has Gaussian shape. The contribution of coherent and non-coherent parts of Cherenkov radiation and the broadening of the angle distribution are discussed in terms ...

Cherenkov radiation as a serendipitous phenomenon
Physics-Uspekhi, 2015A brief account is given of P A Cherenkov's Voronezh years, a period during which the future Nobel laureate in physics attended school (in the village of Novaya Chigla near Voronezh) and studied at Voronezh State University. The history of the serendipitous discovery of the radiation which was to be named after him is described and its importance for ...

On irreducible fluctuations of Cherenkov radiation
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2001Abstract A formula for integral representation of Cherenkov radiation angle distribution due to the dispersion of the refractive index of a gas radiator is derived. Calculations show that the angle distribution can be asymmetric depending on gas and spectral range.
