A simplified method of simulating electromagnetic showers

Упрошенный метод имитирования злектромагнитных ливней

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1965-1970)

Summary

A Monte Carlo programme for studying electromagnetic showers is described. The main difference with previous programmes is its simplicity which is obtained by using in certain parts experimental data. The distribution of track length in a small-dimension absorber of lead glass is calculated for electrons of energy between 50 and 500 MeV. The output of a Čerenkov counter is then studied theoretically and the results are compared with experiments.

Riassunto

Si descrive un programma di Montecarlo per la simulazione di sciami elettromagnetici. La caratteristica principale del programma consiste nella sua semplicità, che è ottenuta facendo uso in certe parti di dati sperimentali. Si calcola poi la distribuzione della lunghezza di traccia in vetro al piombo per elettroni di energia compresa tra 50 e 500 MeV. Si studia infine teoricamente la risposta di un contatore Čerenkov e si confrontano i risultati con i dati sperimentali.

Реэюме

Описывается программа Монте-Карло для иэучения злектромагнитных ливней. Главное отличие от предыдуших программ состоит в ее простоте, которая достигается благодаря испольэованию в некоторых частях зкспериментальных данных. Вычисляется распределение длины треков в поглотителях малых раэмеров иэ свинцового стекла для злектронов с знергиями от 50 до 500 МзВ. Затем теоретически иэучается выход черенковского счетчика, и полученные реэультаты сравниваются с зкспериментом.
