For 10 points, when charged particles travel through an optically transparent medium at speeds faster than the speed of light in the medium, what type of radiation is given off?
This effect occurs when light emission is coupled to radiation modes in photonic crystals using electron energy loss spectroscopy. Two counters of this type, one containing a quartz medium and the other containing a liquid fluorocarbon medium, were used to detect the antiproton. This phenomenon can generate generalized Swihart waves when emitted from an Abrikosov-Josephson vortex and it can be generated by Josephson fluxons traveling with a phase velocity greater than Jospehson plasma waves in a junction. The H.E.S.S. and MAGIC telescopes detect it in the form of low energy photons that are given off by electrons and positrons produced through the atmospheric absorption of gamma rays.
