Abstract
In a relativistic plasma, neutrinos can emit plasmons by the Cherenkov process which is kinematically allowed for a range of frequencies for which the refractive index is greater than one. We calculate the rate of energy emission by this process. We compute the energy deposited i n a stalled supernova shock wave by the Cherenkov process and find tha t it is much smaller than the Bethe-Wilson mechanism.
