Abstract
The total punchthrough probability of showers produced by negative pio ns, positive pions, positive kaons and protons, has been measured as a function of depth in an absorber in a magnetic field ranging from 0 t o 3 Tesla. The incident particle momentum varied from 10 to 300 GeV/c. The lateral shower development and particle multiplicity at several a bsorber depths have been determined. The measurements are compared wit h the predictions of Monte Carlo simulation programs.
