Abstract
The distribution of the energy deposited in thin silicon detectors pla ced on the downstream side of a thick germanium single crystal bombard ed with a 70, 150 and 250 GeV electron beam along directions close to the [110] axis or {110} and {100} planes has been measured. The enhanc ement of the shower with respect to random incidence, as reflected in the higher value of the centroid of the distribution, is studied as a function of the incidence angle to the axis or plane.
