SUMMARY
Cherenkov radiation is emitted only by charged particles when they travel faster than the speed of light in a given medium. Dark matter, which is theorized to be uncharged and does not interact with normal matter, will not emit Cherenkov radiation. This conclusion is based on the fundamental properties of Cherenkov radiation and the characteristics of dark matter as understood in current physics.
