Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radiation From Intense Electron Beams Associated With the Cerenkov Mechanism Normally a charge or system of charges moving at constant velocity does not radiate electromagnetic energy, but if the velocity of the charge is greater than the velocity of light in a medium, radiation occurs. It is broad band; the intensity increases with frequency; and the propagation is confined to a cone, much like a shock wave in air. Equations (7) and(3) in a later section describe these results. In previous work we described theory and experiments showing that this mechanism produces microwaves from bunched electron beams, in addition to the usual optical radiation, as studied by Cerenkov and many others.
