An experimental comparison of pumped superluminal electromagnetic radiation to Cerenkov radiation.
experimentalcomp00grah.pdf (2.977Mb)Abstract
Experiments were conducted to measure the intensity of
radiation emitted by a superluminal 100 MeV electron moving
through a static, periodic, plane polarized magnetic field
oriented perpendicular to the electron's trajectory. Such
radiation is known as pumped superluminal electromagnetic
radiation (PSER) . Comparison was then made with the intensity
of Cerenkov radiation emitted by a superluminal 10 MeV electron without a pump field. it was found that the PSER
was 12.78% ± 0.75% more intense than the Cerenkov
radiation.
