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 reducti...
