Cherenkov 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 کاملThe Gravitational Cherenkov Radiation
An example of discontinuity of the energy-momentum tensor moving at superluminal velocity is discussed. It is shown that the gravita-tional Mach cone is formed. The power spectrum of the corresponding Cherenkov radiation is evaluated.
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 کاملHigh power Cherenkov radiation from a relativistic particle rotating around a dielectric ball
Some characteristic features in the radiation from a relativistic electron uniformly rotating along an equatorial orbit around a dielectric ball have been studied. It was shown that at some harmonics, in case of weak absorption of radiation in the ball material, the electron may generate radiation field quanta exceeding in several dozens of times those generated by electron rotating in a contin...
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...
