Quantum Cerenkov Radiation: Spectral Cutoffs and the Role of Spin and Orbital Angular Momentum

We show that the well-known Cerenkov effect contains new phenomena arising from the quantum nature of charged particles. The Cerenkov transition amplitudes allow coupling between the charged particle and the emitted photon through their orbital angular momentum and spin, by scattering into preferred...
