Electromagnetic cascades produced by high energy gamma quanta in dense amorphous media

摘要

Based on experimental data the longitudinal and lateral profiles of electromagnetic cascades produced by high energy gamma quanta in dense amorphous media are described in the simple forms suitable for different practical applications. In particular,, these results will be useful for the estimation of radiation damages as well as for radiation shielding and electromagnetic calorimeter construction, etc. similar information about the relevant fluctuations is also obtained. The possibility of formulation in such a way for the cascade process initiated by high energy ions penetrating into dense materials is suggested.
