Cherenkov detector
subjectfact 
Cherenkov detectorhas definition Apparatus through which it is possible to observe the existence and velocity of high-speed particles important in experimental nuclear physics and in the study of cosmic radiation. It was originally built to investigate the Cherenkov radiation effect, in which charged particles travel through a medium at a speed greater than that of light in that medium.has source: Abbot, D. 1984 Astronomers, Peter Bedrick Books, New York, 2001-09-27 09:27:34.0
