Effects of variation of index of refraction of atmosphere on Cerenkov radiation.
effectsofvariati00jook.pdf (2.698Mb)Abstract
Cerenkov radiation is calculated for electron beams
which exceed the velocity of light in a nondispersive
dielectric medium. The electron beam is assumed to be
bunched as emitted from a travelling wave accelerator and
the emission region is assumed to be finite.
The direction of emission of the Cerenkov radiation is
related to the index of refraction which in turn is related
to atmospheric index of refraction. The calculated index of
refraction in the atmosphere predicts changes to the
Cerenkov radiation pattern and the emission threshold
condition.
