Spatial distribution of Cherenkov light from cascade showers in water

  • 1. National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute) (Russian Federation)

Description

The spatial distribution of the Cherenkov light generated by cascade showers is analyzed using the NEVOD Cherenkov water detector. The dependence of the Cherenkov light intensity on the depth of shower development at various distances from the shower axis is investigated for the first time. The experimental data are compared with the Cherenkov light distributions predicted by various models for the scattering of cascade particles.
