Re: Cerenkov spectrum question




I would give NCRP 58 A Handbook of Radioactivity Measurements Procedures a
look. On page 59 is Table 7-Cerenkov photon yields as a function of
electron energy in water for selected spectral regions. On page 60 is
Figure 17-Electron threshold energy for Cerenkov emission as a function of
refractive index of several solvents. The refractive indices are for a
wavelength of 589 mm (Na D lines) at 20 deg. C.

Subject:  Cerenkov spectrum question


My turn for a question now...

Does anyone have the spectrum of Cerenkov light?  I got a question and I
can't find a reference anywhere with anything more specific than 300-600nm
wavelength.  Thanks in advance.
