Description: The two-photon production by motion of a charged particle in a medium is considered. This process is called the Cherenkov-Compton effect because the production of photons is calculated from the Feynman diagram for the Compton effect in a medium. The cross section of this process in the Mandelstam variables is calculated for pair of photons with one moving at the opposite direction to the electron motion and the second one inside Cherenkov cone. The relation of this process to the CERN experiments is considered.
