Pavel Cherenkov (1904–1990) was a Soviet physicist who discovered Cherenkov radiation, for which he shared the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physics. His work on the emission of light by charged particles moving faster than the speed of light in a medium revolutionized particle detection and high-energy physics.
