Abstract
New modules for simulating electromagnetic showers at energies from 1 keV to a multi-TeV region have been developed and implemented into the MARS code. The entire shower and several “non-standard” processes essential at high energies are treated either exclusively or inclusively, according to the user’s choice. Results of calculations are in a good agreement with data.
