'''The Raconteurs''', also known as '''The Saboteurs''' in [[Australia]], are a [[Grammy Award|Grammy]]-nominated [[rock music|rock]] band, featuring four members previously known for other musical projects.

'''Cherenkov radiation''' (also spelled '''Cerenkov''', scientific transliteration: '''Čerenkov''') is [[electromagnetic radiation]] emitted when a [[electric charge|charged]] [[particle physics|particle]] passes through an [[Electrical insulation|insulator]] at a [[speed]] greater than the [[speed of light]] in that medium. The characteristic "blue glow" of [[nuclear reactor]]s is due to Cherenkov radiation. It is named after [[Russians|Soviet]] scientist [[Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov]], the [[1958]] [[Nobel Prize in Physics|Nobel Prize]] winner who was the first to rigorously characterize it.

According to the current definition, The Raconteurs qualify as a rock-and-roll [[Supergroup (bands)|supergroup]], featuring the songwriting of [[Jack White (musician)|Jack White]] of [[The White Stripes]] and [[Brendan Benson]], who are both from [[Detroit, Michigan]]. In the band's own words, however, they are not a [[supergroup]], asserting that the term implies something pre-planned, whereas they are actually "a new band made up of old friends."<ref name=MTV2>JH (2006). [http://www.mtv.co.uk/mtv2/music/article.jhtml?articleId=75132981 "Jack White and chums drop an album"] MTV2.co.uk (accessed May 18, 2006)</ref>

== Physical origin ==

The Raconteurs are one of the few non-Irish bands to star in the popular web-cartoons of ''[[Eyebrowy.com]]''.[http://www.eyebrowy.com/animations/jackwhite1.htm]

While [[special relativity|relativity]] holds that the speed of light ''in a [[vacuum]]'' is a [[physical constants|universal constant]] (c), the speed of light in a material may be significantly less than c. For example, the speed of light in [[water]] is only 0.75c. [[Matter]] can be accelerated beyond this speed during nuclear reactions and in [[particle accelerator]]s. Cherenkov radiation results when a charged particle, most commonly an [[electron]], exceeds the speed of light in a [[dielectric]] (electrically insulating) medium through which it passes.

==Members==

Moreover, the velocity of light that must be exceeded is the [[phase velocity]] rather than the [[group velocity]]. The phase velocity can be altered dramatically by employing a periodic medium, and in that case one can even achieve Cherenkov radiation with ''no'' minimum particle velocity &mdash; a phenomenon known as the [[Smith-Purcell effect]]. In a more complex periodic medium, such as a [[photonic crystal]], one can also obtain a variety of other anomalous Cherenkov effects, such as radiation in a backwards direction (whereas ordinary Cherenkov radiation forms an acute angle with the particle velocity).

==Biography==

As a charged particle travels, it disrupts the local [[electromagnetic field]] (EM) in its medium. Electrons in the [[atom]]s of the medium will be displaced and polarized by the passing EM field of a charged particle. [[Photon]]s are emitted as an insulator's electrons restore themselves to [[mechanical equilibrium| equilibrium]] after the disruption has passed. (In a [[Conductor (material)|conductor]], the EM disruption can be restored without emitting a photon.) In normal circumstances, these photons destructively [[interference|interfere]] with each other and no radiation is detected. However, when the disruption travels faster than the photons themselves travel, the photons constructively interfere and intensify the observed radiation.

===Formation===

According to the official website, "The seed was sown in an attic in the middle of a hot summer when friends Jack White and Brendan Benson got together and wrote a song that truly inspired them. This song was "[[Steady, As She Goes]]" and the inspiration led to the creation of a full band with the addition of Lawrence and Keeler."

The band came together in Detroit during 2005 and recorded when time allowed for the remainder of the year.

==="Steady, As She Goes"===

[[Image:cherenkov.svg|thumb|250 px|The geometry of the Cherenkov radiation.]]

"[[Steady, As She Goes|Steady, As She Goes/Store Bought Bones]]" was released as a limited-edition 7-inch, 45 rpm vinyl record in Europe on [[January 30]], [[2006]],<ref name="NMEfirstsingle">[http://www.nme.com/news/white-stripes/22043 The Raconteurs confirm first single], ''[[NME]]'', [[2006-01-24]]</ref> and in North America on [[March 7]], [[2006]]. A CD version of "Steady, as She Goes" was released on [[April 24]], [[2006]], with the B-side "Bane Rendition."

A common analogy is the [[sonic boom]] of a [[supersonic]] aircraft or bullet. The [[sound]] waves generated by the supersonic body do not move fast enough to get out of the way of the body itself. Hence, the waves "stack up" and form a [[shock wave|shock front]]. Similarly, a speed boat generates a large bow shock because it travels faster than waves can move on the surface of the water.

The video for "Steady As She Goes," directed by [[Jim Jarmusch]], premiered on [[MTV2 Europe|MTV2]] on [[March 10]], [[2006]]. It was also available for streaming on the band's website. An alternate video, featuring the band racing each other in a soap box derby, with a rare appearance from [[Paul Reubens]] as the bad guy out to sabotage the race, premiered exclusively on [[Yahoo! Music]] [[June 19]], [[2006]].

In the same way, a superluminal charged particle generates a photonic shockwave as it travels through an insulator.

''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' ran an article discussing how the song has the exact same bassline as [[Joe Jackson (musician)|Joe Jackson]]'s "[[Is She Really Going Out With Him?]]".<ref name="Copy">{{Cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/commentary/0,6115,1204700_4_0_,00.html|title=Do You Copy?|accessdate=2006-09-24|year=2006}}</ref>

In the figure, the particle (red arrow) travels with speed <math>v_p</math> and we define <math>\beta=v_p/c</math> where <math>c</math> is [[speed of light]]. n is the [[refractive index]] of the medium and so the [[photon]]s (blue arrows) travel at speed <math>v_{em}=c/n</math>.

The closing seconds of the track have been used to close "Saturday Live" on BBC Radio 4, generating a lot of interest as to what the song is.

The left corner of the triangle represents the ___location of the superluminal particle at some initial moment (t=0). The right corner of the triangle is the ___location of the particle as some later time t. In the given time t, the particle travels

The Raconteurs' full-length debut, titled ''[[Broken Boy Soldiers]]'', was released on [[May 15]], [[2006]] in the UK on Third Man Recordings/XL Recordings and May 16 in the US on Third Man Recordings/V2 Records. It entered the UK charts at #2 and the US charts at #7. The album was recorded at Brendan Benson's in-home studio located in Detroit.

whereas the electromagnetic waves are constricted to travel

On [[November 3]], [[2006]], the Raconteurs performed 'Broken Boy Soldier' and 'Store Bought Bones' on [[Later with Jools Holland]]. According to reporters from ''[[Planet Sound]]'' who attended the show taping, during 'Store Bought Bones' Jack White's guitar broke down and they had to re-play the song. This eventually happened four times, with the band breaking up in laughter by the 4th take. The TV airing used edited pieces from all four performances and cut out any laughter.

<math>x_{em}=v_{em}t=\frac{c}{n}t</math>

In December 2006, Broken Boy Soldiers was awarded the title Album of the Year by Britain's Mojo magazine.[http://www.albumofthemonth.com/mojo2006.html]

So:

Recently, The Raconteurs have been nominated for two [[Grammy Awards]]: One for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Album|Best Rock Album]] (for ''Broken Boy Soldiers''), and another for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal|Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal]] (for "Steady as She Goes").<ref> GRAMMY.COM - 49th Annual Grammy Awards Nominee List, http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/49th_Show/list.aspx</ref>

Note that since this ratio is independent of time, one can take arbitrary time periods and achieve [[Similarity (geometry)|similar triangles]]. The angle remains unchanged, meaning that subsequent waves generated between the initial time t=0 and final time t will form similar triangles with coinciding right endpoints to the one shown.

===Future Plans===

== Characteristics ==

Intuitively, the overall intensity of Cherenkov radiation is proportional to the velocity of the inciting charged particle and to the number of such particles. Unlike [[fluorescence]] or [[stimulated emission|emission]] [[electromagnetic spectrum|spectra]] that have characteristic spectral peaks, Cherenkov radiation is continuous. The relative intensity of one frequency is proportional to the frequency. That is, higher frequencies (shorter [[wavelength]]s) are more intense in Cherenkov radiation. This is why visible Cherenkov radiation is observed to be brilliant blue. In fact, most Cherenkov radiation is in the [[ultraviolet]] spectrum - it is only with sufficiently accelerated charges that it even becomes visible; the sensitivity of the human eye peaks at green, and is very low in the violet portion of the spectrum.

The band is currently recording songs for their next album at Blackbird Studios in [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. They have twelve songs written, and plan on releasing the album in 2008.<ref> Billboard.com "Raconteurs In The Thick Of Recording New Album",http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003575716</ref>

There is a cut-off frequency for which the equation above cannot be satisfied. Since the [[refractive index]] is a function of frequency (and hence wavelength), the intensity doesn't continue increasing at ever shorter wavelengths even for ultra-relativistic particles (where v/[[speed of light|c]] approaches 1). At [[X-Ray]] frequencies, the [[refractive index]] becomes less than unity (note that in media the phase velocity may exceed c without violating relativity) and hence no [[X-Ray]] emission (or shorter wavelength emissions such as [[gamma rays]]) would be observed. However, X-rays can be generated at special energies corresponding to core electronic transitions in a material, as the index of refraction is often greater than 1 at these energies.

The Raconteurs have also recorded a new song called "Footsteps" with [[The Hives]], probably slated to be on the new album. "5 on the 5," a song the band played live, is likely to be on the album.

As in sonic booms and bow shocks, the angle of the shock [[cone (geometry)|cone]] is inversely related to the velocity of the disruption. Hence, observed angles of incidence can be used to compute the direction and speed of a Cherenkov radiation-producing charge.

Along with those tracks, it's possible one of the many covers the band played live (or an entirely different one) will be on the album.

== Uses ==

===Nuclear reactors===

Cherenkov radiation is used to detect high-energy charged particles. In [[pool-type reactor|pool-type nuclear reactors]], the intensity of Cherenkov radiation is related to the frequency of the [[nuclear fission|fission]] events that produce high-energy electrons, and hence is a measure of the intensity of the reaction. Cherenkov radiation is also used to characterize the remaining [[radioactivity]] of spent fuel rods.

Other possibilities would be one of the leaked Brendan Benson demos. One reason for this was that both "Call It A Day" and "Together" were supposed to be on a solo album of his, as well as "Store Bought Bones" which was supposed to be a [[Get Behind Me Satan]] song. If a demo of his appeared on the new album, it would be likely to be "Feel Like Taking You Home Now" since critics have pointed out a Raconteurs influence.

===Astrophysics experiments===

When a high-energy [[cosmic ray]] interacts with the [[Earth's atmosphere]], it may produce an electron-[[positron]] [[pair production|pair]] with enormous velocities. The Cherenkov radiation from these charged particles is used to determine the source and intensity of the cosmic ray, which is used for example in the [[Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique]] ([[IACT]]), by experiments such as [[VERITAS]], [[H.E.S.S.]], and [[MAGIC (telescope)|MAGIC]]. Similar methods are used in very large [[neutrino]] detectors, such as the [[Super-Kamiokande]], the [[Sudbury Neutrino Observatory | Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO)]] and [[IceCube]].

Also, the title "Monkeys Have It Easy" was placed on the White Stripes site in the press release for [[Icky Thump]] with "discarded" after it. It's unlikely, but the song could be a new Raconteurs song now.

Cherenkov radiation can also be used to determine properties of high-energy astronomical objects that emit gamma rays, such as [[supernova remnant]]s and [[blazars]]. This is done by projects such as [[STACEE]], a gamma ray detector in [[New Mexico]].

The band recorded for a three week period before they prepared for individual releases with their other bands, though Jack said they might not finish by then.

===Particle physics experiments===

Cherenkov radiation is commonly used in experimental [[particle physics]] for particle identification. One could measure (or put limits on) the [[velocity]] of an electrically charged elementary particle by the properties of the Cherenkov light it emits in a certain medium. If the [[momentum]] of the particle is measured independently, one could compute the [[mass]] of the particle by its momentum and velocity (see [[Four-momentum]]), and hence identify the particle.

==Discography==

The simplest type of particle identification device based on a Cherenkov radiation technique is the threshold counter, which gives an answer as to whether the velocity of a charged particle is lower or higher than a certain value by looking at whether this particle does or does not emit Cherenkov light in a certain medium. Knowing particle momentum, one can separate particles lighter than a certain threshold from those heavier than the threshold.

They have also released live performance albums in limited quantities at their respective concerts.

The most advanced type of a detector is the RICH, or [[Ring imaging Cherenkov detector]], developed in 1980s. In a RICH detector, a cone of Cherenkov light is produced when a high speed charged particle traverses a suitable gaseous or liquid medium, often called radiator. This light cone is detected on a position sensitive planar photon detector, which allows reconstructing a ring or disc, the radius of which is a measure for the Cherenkov emission angle. Both focusing and proximity-focusing detectors are in use. In a focusing RICH detector, the photons are collected by a spherical mirror and focused onto the photon detector placed at the focal plane. The result is a circle with a radius independent of the emission point along the particle track. This scheme is suitable for low refractive index radiators, i.e. gases, due to the larger radiator length needed to create enough photons. In the more compact proximity-focusing design, a thin radiator volume emits a cone of Cherenkov light which traverses a small distance &ndash; the proximity gap &ndash; and is detected on the photon detector plane. The image is a ring of light, the radius of which is defined by the Cherenkov emission angle and the proximity gap. The ring thickness is determined by the thickness of the radiator. An example of a proximity gap RICH detector is the High Momentum Particle Identification ([http://alice-hmpid.web.cern.ch HMPID]), a detector currently under construction for ALICE ([[A Large Ion Collider Experiment]]), one of the six experiments at the LHC ([[Large Hadron Collider]]) at [[CERN]].

==SeeLive alsoperformances==

The Raconteurs first performed live at the Academy in [[Liverpool]], [[United Kingdom|U.K.]], on [[March 20]], [[2006]], launching a short British tour. Their first American date was the next month, on [[April 20]] at [[New York City|New York]]'s [[Irving Plaza]]. Nearly nonstop touring followed, bringing the band to audiences around North America and Europe. The high profile of [[Jack White]] meant that even though the band was new, they were able to sell out mid-size venues — a rarity for a band's first tour.

*[[Bremsstrahlung]]

*[[List of light sources]]

The band has played a number of music festivals in Europe, Asia, and North America (including Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL and [[Austin City Limits Music Festival]] in [[Austin, Texas]]), headlining many.

*[[Frank-Tamm formula]]

In November [[2006]], the Raconteurs played eight dates as the opening act for [[Bob Dylan]] on the northeastern leg of his U.S. tour.

The band has performed a number of covers during live shows. For instance, the set list usually includes renditions of "[[Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)]]" (a song written by [[Sonny Bono]] and popularized by both [[Cher]] and [[Nancy Sinatra]]) and "Headin' For the Texas Border" by [[The Flamin Groovies]]. Other songs the band has covered include [[Gnarls Barkley]]'s "[[Crazy (Gnarls Barkley song)|Crazy]]", [[Bo Diddley]]'s "Who Do You Love?", [[The Undertones]]' "[[Teenage Kicks]]," [[David Bowie]]'s "[[It Ain't Easy (song)|It Ain´t Easy]]", and [[Love (band)|Love]]'s "A House Is Not A Motel".

== The Saboteurs ==

The Raconteurs were forced to rename themselves as "The Saboteurs" for the Australian market when it was discovered that a [[Queensland]] band was already using the name "Raconteurs". The Queensland band refused to give up their name for the amount they were offered, and instead tried to extract a higher price from the Raconteurs' record company.<ref name="HeraldSunNameChange">[http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,18734967%255E28957,00.html Double-up forces switch], ''[[Herald Sun]]'', [[2006-04-07]]</ref>

A member of the Queensland band has said that they hadn't been informed of who was trying to buy their name and asked for the larger sum of money to see what would happen.<ref name="TripleJNameChange">[http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s1613948.htm Saboteurs of Raconteurs], ''[[Triple J|Triple J Music News]]'', [[2006-04-11]]</ref>
