摘要：
Cherenkov radiation produced in extensive air showers shows a net polarization. This article discusses its properties and physical origin, and proposes an arrangement of polarizers potentially useful for imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
