Cherenkov light imaging in astroparticle physics
arXiv:1901.00146 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2018.11.113
Abstract
Cherenkov light induced by fast charged particles in transparent dielectric media such as air or water is exploited by a variety of experimental techniques to detect and measure extraterrestrial particles impinging on Earth. A selection of detection principles is discussed and corresponding experiments are presented together with breakthrough-results they achieved. Some future developments are highlighted.
