Abstract
Using a large directional water Cerenkov counter and a near horizontal magnetic spectrograph, the Cerenkov energy loss of relativistic muons has been studied. The experimental results, which cover the range of muon momentum 0.3-120 GeV/c, are consistent with the classical theory of Frank and Tamm. They do not indicate a decrease in the Cerenkov loss, as expected according to Tsytovitch, nor do they confirm the large rise reported by Bassi et al.Keywords
