Description

The spatial-angular characteristics of the atmospheric electromagnetic showers, formed by the superhigh energy primary photons (E = 1018-1022 eV) are calculated. The calculations are carried out for the vertical and inclined showers with an account of the photons and electrons interaction with the Earth dipole magnetic field (the electron-positron pair production, synchrotron radiation) and with an account of the electrons and photons interaction with the matter in the real atmosphere

Abstract (Russian)

Рассчитаны пространственно-угловые характеристики атмосферных электромагнитных ливней, образованных первичными фотонами сверхвысоких энергий (E = 1018-1022 эВ). Расчеты проведены для вертикальных и наклонных ливней с учетом взаимодействия фотонов и электронов с дипольным магнитным полем Земли (образование электрон-позитронных пар, синхротронное излучение) и с учетом взаимодействия электронов и фотонов с веществом в реальной атмосфере
