The Cherenkov effect is a well known phenomenon in the electrodynamics of fast charged particles passing through transparent media. If the particle is faster than the light in a given medium, the medium emits a forward light cone. This…
We derive the covariant generalization of the Frank-Tamm formula describing the Cherenkov radiation by a charged particle moving uniformly with a speed faster than the local speed of light within a homogeneous dielectric medium. We use our…
You & Cheng (1980) argued that, for relativistic electrons moving through a dense gas, the Cerenkov effect will produce peculiar atomic and/or molecular emission lines--Cerenkov lines. They presented a series of formulae to describe the new…
Cherenkov radiation may occur whenever the source is moving faster than the waves it generates. In a radiation dominated universe, with equation-of-state $w = 1/3$, we have recently shown that the Bardeen scalar-metric perturbations…
A relativistic electron uniformly rotating along an equatorial orbit around a dielectric ball may generate Cherenkov radiation tens of times more intense as that in case of revolution of a particle in a continuous, infinite and transparent…
The nontrivial dispersion relation of a periodic medium affects both the spectral and the spatial distribution of Cherenkov radiation. We present a theory of the spatial distribution of Cherenkov radiation in the far-field zone inside…
In this manuscript we examine an accelerated charged particle moving through an optical medium, and explore the emission of accelerated-Cherenkov radiation. The particle's reaction to acceleration creates a low-frequency spectral cutoff in…
Although travelling faster than the speed of light in vacuum is not physically allowed, the analogous bound in medium can be exceeded by a moving particle. For an electron in dielectric material this leads to emission of photons which is…
In this paper, the Cherenkov radiation process is investigated in the frame of the Quantum Field Theory, both for the spinless and spin-1/2 charged particles. In the latter case, the polarization density matrix technique was used to account…
The Cherenkov radiation of magnons at passage of the heavy slow magnetic monopole through an ordered magnetic matter is considered. Also the Cherenkov radiation of phonons at monopole movement in medium is discussed.
We consider Cerenkov radiation which must arise when randomly oriented straight cosmic (super)strings move with relativistic velocities without intercommutation. String interactions via dilaton, two-form and gravity (gravity being the…
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are extragalactic radio transients with extremely high brightness temperature, which strongly suggests the presence of coherent emission mechanisms. In this study, we introduce a novel radiation mechanism for FRBs…
There is a century-old tenet [1, 2] that the inverse Doppler frequency shift of light [3-13] is impossible in homogeneous systems with a positive refractive index. Here we break this long-held tenet by predicting a new kind of Doppler…
The radiation emitted by a charged particle moving along a helical orbit inside a dielectric cylinder immersed into a homogeneous medium is investigated. Expressions are derived for the electromagnetic potentials, electric and magnetic…
We calculate the Cherenkov process nu -> nu+photon 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…
I propose an observable to declare the formation of Quark Plasma (QP) without any doubts. It is the observation of Cherenkov photon radiations of the order of 100 MeV associated with fast light charged particles while they are penetrating…
Until recently, the interaction of electromagnetic waves with crystals built from parallel metallic wires (wire media) was analyzed in the approximation of isotropic scattering of the electromagnetic wave by a single wire. However, if the…

In vacuum with an induced by strong electromagnetic wave refraction index larger than unity, an ultra-relativistic electron emits Cherenkov radiation. During the interaction with this wave the electron also radiates photons via the Compton…
