The Event with a Possible Emission of Cerenkov Hadrons
Abstract
The event 2 plus 3 plus 40 p with primary energy about 10 to the 13th eV in photoemulsions radiated at the altitude 12 km is analysed. There are four groups of secondary particles clearly separated in the pseudorapidity plot of the event. Two of them are especially specific because they are formed by hadrons with almost identical (and rather large) polar angles but with widely distributed azimuth angles. Such a ring structure of the target diagram can be explained as a manifestation of some new kind of hadron emission processes similar to Cherenkov electromagnetic radiation.
