Cherenkov Radiation Simulation by Finite Difference Time Domain Advantage of FDTD: First principle, Time domain, Global simulation. w/o approximation (Near field) Shower is cylindrical symmetry. Radiation is polarized ( Er, Ez,H φ ) Net current
FDTD speedup by GPU FDTD simulation cost a lot CPU power. 4 hours. -> 1min.

For Radiation study… k*E=0; k*B=0 for EM radiation. (Transverse wave) E(x,t)//A(x,t) if ϕ ~ 1/r 2 k*A=0 Total charge have gone to 0 when we detection. ϕ (x,t)( instantaneous ) This is radiation gauge, (transverse, Coulomb)
