Description

Electromagnetic showers induced by 1.57-GeV e+ particles incident on a tantalum plate have been studied in a bubble chamber experiment. These showers illustrate many of the interesting properties of bremsstrahlung, e+e- pair production, Compton scattering, and other quantum phenomena. Some detailed comparisons between experiment and theory are made by using computer-generated simulations of electromagnetic showers
