Cherenkov radiation and pair production by particles traversing laser beams
It is shown that Cherenkov radiation can be observed at TESLA in electron collisions with optical laser pulses. The prospects for it to be observed at SLC, LEP, LHC and RHIC are discussed. The conclusions are compared with results for pair production. The problem of very high energy charged particles collisions with laser beams is widely discussed now, mostly in connection with the e + e −-pair...
متن کاملCherenkov radiation of superluminal particles
Any charged particle moving faster than light through a medium emits Cherenkov radiation. We show that charged particles moving faster than light through the vacuum emit Cherenkov radiation. How can a particle move faster than light? The weak speed of a charged particle can exceed the speed of light. By definition, the weak velocity ^v&w is ^C f inuvuC in&/^C f inuC in&, where v is the velocity...
متن کاملCherenkov Radiation in a Gravitational Wave Background
A covariant criterion for the emission of Cherenkov radiation in the field of a non-linear gravitational wave is considered in the framework of exact integrable models of particle dynamics and electromagnetic wave propagation. It is shown that vacuum interacting with curvature can give rise to Cherenkov radiation. The conically shaped spatial distribution of radiation is derived and its basic p...
متن کاملCherenkov radiation by neutrinos
We discuss the Cherenkov process ν → νγ in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field. The neutrinos are taken to be massless with only standard-model couplings. The magnetic field fulfills the dual purpose of inducing an effective neutrino-photon vertex and of modifying the photon dispersion relation such that the Cherenkov condition ω < |k| is fulfilled. For a field strength Bcrit = m 2 e/e...
متن کاملCherenkov radiation by massless neutrinos
Due to their weak interactions, neutrinos can polarize a medium and acquire an induced charge. We consider the Cherenkov radiation emitted by neutrinos due to their effective electromagnetic interactions as they pass through a polarizable medium. The effect exists even for massless, chiral neutrinos, where no physics beyond the standard model needs to be assumed. The study of the electromagneti...
