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.

Grazing-incidence Cerenkov x-ray generation
(1989-08-01);X-ray Cerenkov radiation can be generated by electrons incident on thin foils. For grazing incidence the Cerenkov radiation intensity can be more than a decade greater than for perpendicular incidence. Experimental results ... -
Time development of Čerenkov radation
(American Physical Society, 1985-06);Most development of Čerenkov radiation are in terms of the Fourier components of the fields and power emitted by a single electron. When many electrons in a compact bunch are emitted from an accelerator, the bunch radiates ...
