Abstract
By means of GEANT4-based Monte Carlo simulations, we have studied the frequency and angular behavior of Cherenkov radio pulses originated by the excess charge in electromagnetic (EM) showers in different dense media. We have developed a simple model to relate the main characteristics of the electric field spectrum to the longitudinal and lateral development of the EM showers. Using this model the electric field spectrum is shown to have a scaling behavior with a number of medium parameters. We explore the validity of our model by comparing its predictions against full Monte Carlo simulations.
