Abstract
The electron-photon shower development in a lead plate-emulsion sandwich ch amber with a total effective lead thickness of 3.5 radiation units was stud ied for an electron energy of 26 GeV. The experimental electron multiplicat ion coefficient (P-exp = 19.4 +/- 1.4) agrees with a theoretical value (P-c alcd = 20.4) calculated with corrections for the particle scattering and ab sorption.
