Cherenkov Energy Loss of Relativistic Charge in Water and Ice
Abstract
Cherenkov energy loss produced by relativistic charge in water and ice was reviewed taking into account the quantum recoil effect and the medium photo-absorption. Simple model for radiation from electromagnetic shower showing the Askar’yan effect is considered, and the shower radiation in ice is compared with experimental data.
