Abstract
This work reviews the progression of chemical analysis via Cherenkov emissions, i.e., Cherenkov Photometry and Cherenkov Emission Spectroscopy, from its introduction in the literature up to modern developments. In presenting the history of this field, we aim to consolidate the literature, both for reference and contextualization. We present an argument aiming to untangle why this corner of research has seen little progress while so many other directly related aspects of Cherenkov research have flourished, as well as speak to the progress of the field in recent years and prospective direction in years to come.
