Abstract

An experimental study of C\ifmmode \check{}\else \v{}\fi{}erenkov line radiation is reviewed. The C\ifmmode \check{}\else \v{}\fi{}erenkov line radiation is emitted in a gas by electrons from a $^{90}\mathrm{Sr}$ \ensuremath{\beta} source and measured by a coincidence technique. Its major characteristics were studied experimentally. It is discovered that the radiation has a line spectrum, its angular distribution is obviously anisotropic, it is plane polarized, and it has a short emitting time.
