Experiments were conducted to measure the intensity of radiation emitted by a superluminal 100 MeV electron moving through a static, periodic, plane polarized magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the electron's trajectory. Such radiation is known as pumped superluminal electromagnetic radiation (PSER). Comparison was then made with the intensity of Cherenkov radiation emitted by a superluminal 100 MeV electron without a pump field. It was found that the PSER was 12.78% + or - 0.75% more intense than the Cherenkov radiation.
