Pavel Cherenkov is a physicist best known for his discovery of Cherenkov radiation, a phenomenon observed when a charged particle, such as an electron, moves through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. This discovery is significant in the field of particle physics and has applications in various areas, including astrophysics and nuclear physics.
