In a Lorentz- and CPT-violating modification of electrodynamics that includes a timelike Chern-Simons term, there are no energy losss through vacuum Cerenkov radiation. A charge moving with a constant velocity does not lose energy, because of an unusual cancellation. Higher frequency modes of the electromagnetic field carry away positive energy, but lower frequency modes carry away a compensating negative amount of energy.

  1. Cherenkov radiation in isotropic chiral matter: the space-frequency domain

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A charge moving through chiral matter radiates Cherenkov light in two independent polarization modes, one of which can radiate at sub-luminal speeds.

  2. Vacuum Cherenkov radiation for nonminimal dimension-5 Lorentz violation

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Isotropic dimension-5 Lorentz violation in fermions is constrained to below 1e-18 GeV^-1 (proton, m-type) and 3e-28 GeV^-1 (proton, a-type) by the absence of vacuum Cherenkov radiation in cosmic rays.
