The Role of Spin and Orbital Angular Momentum in Čerenkov Radiation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that Čerenkov radiation contains new phenomena arising from the quantum nature of charged fermions. The charge’s orbital angular momentum and spin couple to the emitted photon, which scatters into preferred angles and polarizations.
