Physicists have detected the highest-energy neutrino ever felt on Earth. The neutrino, detected at the bottom of the ...

Cherenkov radiation is a phenomenon that occurs when charged particles, such as electrons, travel through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the speed of light in that medium. This effect ...

For water at room temperature, this angle is 41º. In a water Cherenkov detector, the Cherenkov radiation is detected, usually by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and the cone of emission reconstructed.

Cherenkov Radiation: Electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle moves through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the speed of light in that medium. This Nature Research ...
