Abstract

The production of electron–photon showers in the shower detector was investigated. The detector is composed of alternating layers of nuclear emulsion and lead with a total thickness of 2.95 radiation units for exposure to a 10-GeV electron beam. By using experimental results, it is possible to identify electrons in the shower detector with a high efficiency.
