Remarks on the Mathematical Foundations of the Cherenkov Radiation

Remarks on the Mathematical Foundations of the Cherenkov Radiation

These notes invite participants to explore the production of Cherenkov radiation in cool-water nuclear reactors. Exercises lead students to consider eigenvalue problems for Neutron transport, criticality, and reactor stability. Tamm analysis of transport eigenfunctions allows algebraic calculation of the Cherenkov light cone through special relativity. This text is suitable for undergraduate research; cross-section geometry, Lagrangian notions,...
