Summary
On the basis of the new approach to the cascade theory accurate numerical results on the mean numbers of electrons produced in small thicknesses in a shower initiated by a single electron or photon are presented. Agreement with the experimental results is satisfactory if due allowance is made for tridents.
Riassunto
Sulla base del nuovo trattamento della teoria della cascata si presentano accurati risultati numerici sul numero medio di elettroni generati in piccoli spessori in uno sciame iniziatosi con un singolo elettrone o fotone. L’accordo coi risultati sperimentali è soddisfacente se si tien conto dei tridenti.
