Extensive air shower products are fractal in nature. Both simulated and experimental Cherenkov images display multifractal properties. In this paper we explore the possibility of searching multifractal features in Cherenkov arrival times.
Transfer matrix method gives underlying dynamics of a multifractal. In the present studies transfer matrix method is applied to multifractal properties of Cherenkov image from which probabilities of electromagnetic components are obtained.

The mirrors of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes are different from those of conventional astronomical telescopes in several ways, not least in that they are exposed to the elements. One of the issues which may arise is condensation…

Cosmic gamma-ray photons incident on the upper atmosphere create air showers that move to the Earth's surface with superluminal speed, relative to the air. Even though many of these air showers remain superluminal all along their…
Some part of the microwave Cherenkov radiation from a particle-in-flight from vacuum to semi-infinite layered medium is redirected by the periodical structure of medium in the backward direction. This part of radiation is…
Subatomic particles can interact with target nuclei in matter or decay in flight, and an individual high-energy particle can induce a particle shower composed of numerous, lower-energy secondaries. These particle showers broadly exhibit…
When ultrafast noncritical cascaded second-harmonic generation of energetic femtosecond pulses occur in a bulk lithium niobate crystal optical Cherenkov waves are formed in the near- to mid-IR. Numerical simulations show that the few-cycle…
The sweep speed of an electron beam across the face of an oscilloscope can exceed the velocity of light, although of course the velocity of the electrons does not. Associated with this possibility there should be a kind of Cherenkov…
