Hmmm;
Cherenkov radiation happens when a charged particle (eg: electron) passes through a dielectric at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium.
So, I guess this would have a very characteristic spectrum (?)
Detecting neutrinos … hmmm .. not sure about this one ..
Are you saying that they're more likely to detect Cherenkov radiation, rather than neutrinos ?
