Abstract
A propane bubble chamber containing lead or copper plates was used to study the development of cascade showers initiated by electrons with energies of 372, 192 and 92 MeV. For each set of absorbers and each energy the mean number of electrons as a function of the depth was determined. The number of showers was sufficiently large to additionally allow measurement of the fluctuations and the angular distribution of the electrons at various depths. Comparison of our data with conventional theories shows poor agreement whereas the agreement with Monte Carlo calculations byNagel and byZerby is satisfactory.
