The role of energy-momentum conservation in emission of Cherenkov gluons
arXiv:0710.4201 · doi:10.1142/S0217732308026923
Abstract
The famous formula for the emission angle of Cherenkov radiation should be modified when applied to hadronic reactions because of recoil effects. They impose the upper limit on the energy of the gluon emitted at a given angle. Also, it leads to essential corrections to the nuclear refractive index value as determined from the angular position of Cherenkov rings.
