Cherenkov Radiation from e + e − Pairs and Its Effect on ν e Induced Showers

We calculate the Cherenkov radiation from an e + e − pair at small separations, as occurs shortly after a pair conversion. The radiation is reduced (compared to that from two independent particles) when the pair separation is smaller than the wavelength of the emitted light. We estimate the reductio...
