Cherenkov radiation is a form of energy that we can perceive as a blue glow emitted when the electrically charged particles that compose atoms (i.e. electrons and protons) are moving at speeds faster ...

When a particle exceeds to the speed of light in a medium, such as water, it produces whats known as Cherenkov radiation. This radiation is used by nuclear inspectors and astronomers, but it’s ...

Cherenkov light is produced when charged particles travel at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in tissue. The signal intensity is proportional to the delivered radiation dose, ...

Cherenkov imaging is a valuable cancer treatment tool that can help doctors track and monitor radiation doses received by tissues during cancer therapy in real time. Skip to content Menu ...

These photons produce shock waves in the air, much like a sonic boom, but the effect is to make more photons instead of sound. Observatories like VERITAS in Arizona look for those secondary photons, ...

Scientists have detected the sun emitting an extraordinary amount of gamma rays — light wavelengths known to carry the most energy of any other wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

The group's detector design exploits Cherenkov radiation, a phenomenon in which radiation is emitted when charged particles moving faster than light pass ... spectrum of spent nuclear ...
