Superlight inverse Doppler effect

It has long been thought that the inverse Doppler frequency shift of light is impossible in homogeneous systems with a positive refractive index. Here we break this long-held tenet by predicting a previously unconsidered Doppler effect of light inside a radiation cone, the so-called Vavilov–Cherenko...
