Abstract

Generalized Super-Cherenkov Radiations (SCR), as well as their SCR-signatures are investigated. Two general SCR-coherence conditions are found as two natural extremes of the same spontaneous particles decays in (dielectric, nuclear or hadronic) media. The main results on the experimental test of the super-coherence conditions, obtained by using the experimental data from BNL, are presented. The interpretation of the observed anomalous Cherenkov rings as experimental evidence for the HE-component of the SCR is discussed.
