An experimental study of Cerenkov line radiation is reviewed. The Cerenkov line radiation is emitted in a gas by electrons from a /sup 90/Sr ..beta.. source and measured by a coincidence technique. Its major characteristics were studied experimentally. It is discovered that the radiation has a line spectrum, its angular distribution is obviously anisotropic, it is plane polarized, and it has a short emitting time.
