Controlling Cherenkov radiation with transformation-optical metamaterials.
In high energy physics, unknown particles are identified by determining their mass from the Cherenkov radiation cone that is emitted as they pass through the detector apparatus. However, at higher particle momentum, the angle of the Cherenkov cone saturates to a value independent of the mass of the generating particle, making it difficult to effectively distinguish between different particles. ...
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 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 کاملTime-of-Propagation Cherenkov counter for particle identification
We describe here a new concept of a Cherenkov detector for particle identification by means of measuring the Time-of-Propagation (TOP) of Cherenkov photons.
