Abstract

A mathematical treatment is given of the general three-dimensional theory of a cascade shower developing in a medium in which the number density of the constituent atoms may vary from point to point. This treatment reduces the work of obtaining all angular and radial moments to a drill. The case of the soft component developing in an extensive air shower initiated by a primary nucleon is worked out as an illustration.
