For water at room temperature, this angle is 41º. In a water Cherenkov detector, the Cherenkov radiation is detected, usually by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and the cone of emission reconstructed.

While these sorts of muon detectors are expensive ... it actually makes the operation much simpler, thanks to Cherenkov radiation. The speed of light in a vacuum is the absolute speed limit ...

ANNIE's technical goals include running the first Gd-loaded water Cherenkov experiment to be situated in a ... for control and monitoring of the high voltage system for the detector. We are also ...

A key feature of the JUNO detector is its use of a water Cherenkov detector. Cherenkov radiation occurs when charged particles, like cosmic rays, move faster than light in a particular medium ...
