Abstract:The Cherenkov radiation (ChR) from relativistic charged particles moving uniformly and rectilinearly with constant velocity in an optically transparent radiator is described by the well-known Tamm-Frank theory. Several reasons may lead to deviations from this ideal character of motion: 1) multiple scattering -a particle velocity vector changes and angular distribution becomes broadened; 2) stopping in a radiator -a particle velocity decreases, the Cherenkov angle changes; 3) channeling effect. Multiple scatter… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
