Abstract—An analytical approach based on the polarization currents method is used to calculate the effect of the detector angular aperture on the vacuum Vavilov–Cherenkov radiation (VChR) polarization for an inclined dielectric plate. The simulation results show that an increase in the azimuthal detector aperture increases the VChR detection efficiency without average polarization degradation.
