Abstract
The collective effect of emission by the forward moving partons of high energy Cherenkov gluons in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is considered. It can reveal itself as peaks in the pseudorapidity distribution of jets at midrapidities, or as a ring-like structure of individual events in event-by-event analysis. The pseudorapidity distribution of centers of dense isolated groups of particles in the HIJING model is determined. It can be considered as the background for Cherenkov gluons. If peaks above this background are found in experiments, they indicate new collective effects.
