本文首先简要回顾了辐射的最初发现和产生辐射过程的物理原理，然后对辐射效应的理论作了初步的介绍。然后对宇宙线和高能物理的实际应用进行了概述，并更详细地讨论了现代探测器的两个例子。文章最后叙述了最近对来自夜空的光脉冲进行的实验，这些光脉冲与宇宙射线阵雨有关，发现是由于大气中的切伦科夫辐射。
The paper opens with a brief review of the original discovery of the radiation and the physical principles of the process that gives rise to it. This is followed by an elementary account of the theory of the effect. A general survey of the practical applications to cosmic-ray and high-energy physics is then presented, with two examples of modern detectors discussed in greater detail. The article concludes with an account of recent experiments carried out on light pulses from the night-sky associated with cosmic-ray showers, found to be due to Cerenkov radiation in the atmosphere.
