Electron neutrinos interact with water in the detector to produce electrons , which subsequently induce electromagnetic showers to eventually emit cherenkov light that is detected in a ring-shaped structure .
Cherenkov radiation is predicted by the " standard model " of particle physics and is also observed in the real world , most often as a faint blue glow emanating from the cores of nuclear reactors .
When charged particles propagate through a medium faster than light does , they emit a flurry of photons known as cherenkov radiation , analogous to the sonic boom that comes from fighter jets exceeding the speed of sound .

There are many parallels between cherenkov rediation and bydrodynamic shocks .

The magic ( major atmospheric gamma imaging cherenkov ) telescope itself is intended to detect gamma rays - photons with over 100 billion times the energy of visible light .
