The importance of the Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation stems from the property that a charge moving uniformly in a medium emitsγquanta at the angle uniquely related to its energy. This has numerous applications. We mention only the neutrino experiments in which the neutrino energy is estimated by the angle at which the electron originating from the decay of neutrino is observed.
This book is intended for students of the third year and higher, for postgraduates, and professional scientists, both experimentalists and theo-reticians. The Landau and Lifschitz treatisesQuantum Mechanics, Classi-cal Field TheoryandElectrodynamics of Continuous Mediaare more than enough for the understanding of the text.
