Abstract

Generalized mesonic Super-\v{C}erenkov Radiations (S\v{C}R) are investigated. The energy behavior of the pionic refractive index in the low energy pionic SCR-sector is presented. We estimated that the true coherent SCR-pion emission is possible mainly in the SCRS-energy bands 190-315 MeV for all pions; 910-960 MeV only for positive pions, and 80-1000 GeV for all pions, in certain nuclear reactions. We predicted that S\v{C}R-pionic band will be enlarged for the pion energies higher than 80 GeV. The strong correlations between angle of SCR-pion emission and (meson and projectile)-energies are evidentiated. The spectral distributions of the SCR-pions are presented and the position of their maxima are estimated. The agreement with the available experimental data is discussed.
