Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 254801 (2004) [4 pages]Relativistic Generalization of the Landau Criterion as a New Foundation of the Vavilov-Cherenkov Radiation TheorySee Also: Publisher's Note Received 2 July 2004; published 14 December 2004; corrected 16 December 2004 The relativistic generalization of the Landau criterion is obtained for the determination of threshold conversion of medium elementary Bose-condensed excitation into Cherenkov's photon unbremsstrahlung radiation. In contraposition to classic Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation (VCR) theory, the new VCR theory admits the conditions for effective and direct VCR realization even for high-frequency transverse electromagnetic waves in isotropic plasma. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
