چکیده

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.

Cherenkov 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...

Constraining the New Aether : Gravitational Cherenkov Radiation

We study the simplest concrete theory for spontaneous Lorentz violation , the " New Aether Theory " of Jacobson and Mattingly, which is a vector-tensor gravitational theory with a fixed-modulus condition on the vector field. We show that the observation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (which implies the absence of energy loss via various Cherenkov type processes) places constraints on the para...

استفاده از شتابگر الکترونی MeV 10 برای تولید تابش چرنکوف درناحیه پرتوایکس نرم

Cherenkov radiation is generated when relativistic charged particles move in a medium with refractive index larger than unity. Although, the refractive index is generally smaller than unity in X-ray region, in the vicinity of atomic absorption edges, the refractive index may exceed unity and Cherenkov radiation can be generated in soft X-ray region with a narrow band width. In this paper, the s...

A study on the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in extensive air showers

The dependence of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. It has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total Cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below EEAS ~ 1014 eV. We have found that the core distance of the so c...
