Monte Carlo studies of electron and photon transport at energies up to 1000 MeV
Abstract
Calculations of electron-photon showers initiated by electron beams with energies from 50 to 1000 MeV are reported. Results obtained with the Monte Carlo program ETRAN are presented for diverse problems including: (1) the spatial distribution of energy deposited in water, air and lead targets; (2) the escape of scattered electrons and secondary bremsstrahlung from air and lead targets;(3) energy-loss straggling of primary electrons in air; (4) depth-dependent electron spectra (differential tracklength distributions) in air.
