Scientific paper

Following a series of works on anisotropic radiation, the Cerenkov condition in magnetized plasmas is analyzed. It is discovered that the usual Cerenkov condition cos theta = 1/n beta(parallel) is not satisfied at a far field point in anisotropic media, implying that, when a charge is moving in a magnetized plasma, a linear shock wave front does not form. Thus, the power received at a far field per unit time in such a medium can be calculated; this quantity could not be evaluated according to previous theory. Numerical examples are presented to show various relevant characteristics of Cerenkov radiation in model plasmas.
