Abstract
The results of calculations of the charged particles multiplicity, energy, radial and time distributions in the electromagnetic showers initiated by electrons with energies from 5 to 1000 GeV in Fe, W and Pb are presented. It is shown that the multiplicity distributions are well fitted by the inverse sum of two exponents in a wide range of energy and lead depth. The shapes of energy and radial distributions at the shower maximum weakly depend on the electron energy. Radial distributions for all materials studied are similar if radius is expressed in g/cm2. The time spread of the charged particles at the shower maximum turned out to be in the picosecond range.
