Conferences and symposia. 110th anniversary of the birth of P.A. Cherenkov


Cherenkov radiation: from discovery to RICH

 a, b
a Lebedev Physical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Leninsky prosp. 53, Moscow, 119991, Russian Federation
b National Research Nuclear University ‘MEPhI’, Kashirskoe shosse 31, Moscow, 115409, Russian Federation

The history of the discovery of the Cherenkov radiation is reviewed. Its early observations at particle accelerators and in cosmic rays are described and how it forms is qualitatively discussed. The types and high energy physics applications of Cherenkov detectors are briefly described.
