The importance of the Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation stems from the
property that a charge moving uniformly in a medium emits ? quanta
at the angle uniquely related to its energy. This has numerous
applications. We mention only the neutrino experiments in which the
neutrino energy is estimated by the angle at which the electron
originating from the decay of neutrino is observed. This book is
intended for students of the third year and higher, for
postgraduates, and professional scientists, both experimentalists
and th- reticians. The Landau and Lifschitz
treatisesQuantumMechanics,Clas- cal Field Theory
andElectrodynamicsofContinuousMedia are more than enough for the
understanding of the text. There are three monographs devoted to
the Vavilov-Cherenkov rad- tion. Jelly's book Cherenkov Radiation
and its Applications published in 1958 contains a short theoretical
review of the Vavilov-Cherenkov ra- ation and a rather extensive
description of experimental technique. Ten years later, the
two-volume Zrelov monograph Vavilov-Cherenkov Rad-
tionandItsApplicationinHigh-EnergyPhysics appeared. Its ?rst volume
isaquiteextensivereviewofexperimentalandtheoreticalresultsknownup
to1968.ThesecondvolumeisdevotedtotheconstructionoftheCherenkov
counters. In1988,theFrankmonographVavilov-CherenkovRadiation.T-
oretical Aspects was published. It presents mainly a collection of
Frank's papers with valuable short commentaries describing their
present status. It is highly desirable to translate this book into
English.
