Created from Cherenkov radiation Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. It is the characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor, discovered by Pavel Cherenkov in 1934.
