Description
We have developed an algorithm to obtain the electric field of the Cherenkov radio
pulse in the time domain as produced by a single charged particle track in a dielectric
medium. The algorithm is implemented in a Monte Carlo simulation of electromagnetic
showers in dense media, and the coherent Cherenkov radio emission can be obtained
simultaneously in the time and frequency domains allowing a direct comparison of the
two approaches. The shape of the bipolar pulse in the time domain is shown to be directly
related to the depth development of the excess charge in the shower, and its spread
in time to the observation angle with respect to the Cherenkov direction. This information
can be of great importance for interpreting actual data.
