III. Behavior of Cherenkov Signal Time‐ domain integral
Liénard–Wiechert potential Lorentz gauge
For Radiation study… • k*E=0; k*B=0 for EM radiation. (Transverse wave) • E(x, t)//A(x, t) if ϕ ~ 1/r 2 • k*A=0 • Total charge have gone to 0 when we detection. ϕ(x, t)(instantaneous) • This is radiation gauge, (transverse, Coulomb)
