Definition of "Cerenkov counter" |
a detector for charged particles. It consists essentially of a transparent medium such as a gas, which emits Cerenkov radiation when a charged particle passes through at a velocity greater than the velocity of light in the medium. The mass of a particle in a beam of known momentum can be determined with such a counter by measuring the characteristic angle at which the Cerenkov radiation is emitted. |
