Abstract
The solution of the cascade equations, obtained previously by Bhabha and Chakrabarty, is rearranged in a form suitable for numerical calculations. Although the solution is still in the form of an infinite series, the first term alone gives practically the entire contribution to the number of particles in a shower for all values of the energy of the shower particles. The results are compared with the values given previously by Bhabha and Chakrabarty and also by Snyder. The defects in the analysis of Snyder are discussed.Keywords
