Abstract

We present the results of an investigation into both the longitudinal and transverse fluctuation of electromagnetic cascades (EC) produced in liquid xenon by a gamma quanta of energy from 200 MeV to 3375 MeV at four different values of cut-off energy (for all cascade particles): 0.6, 1.25, 2, and 3 MeV. This work was performed with the EGS modeling code [3]. The ultimate objective of this investigation is to obtain exhaustive and concise information in the form of simple formulas suitable for experiments (in particular, for PANDA detector, GSI, Darmstadt).
