Description
The energy loss and critical energies of ultrarelativistic nuclei are calculated with allowance for the fact that the dominant radiation process for the nuclei is the formation of e+e- pairs. It is shown that in the region of superhigh energies the total average ionization loss of the nuclei (hadrons) reaches a plateau dependent on the type of nucleus (hadron) and on the characteristics of the medium. Special features of the energy spectra of e+e- pairs and δ electrons formed by the nuclei are analyzed
