The detection and the measurement of energy of electron cascades in a small lead-plate spark chamber

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The development of electron showers in a small lead-plate spark chamber has been observed in the energy ranges (0.5/1.45) GreV and (3/8) GeV during exposures at the Saclay and C.E.R.N. protosynchrotrons. The possibility of discrimination between electron showers and nuclear interactions is discussed and an empirical relation between electron shower size and energy is established.

Riassunto

Sono riportati i risultati di un’analisi dello sviluppo degli sciami prodotti da elettroni in una piccola camera a scintilla a setti di piombo; l’esperienza è stata effettuata con esposizioni ai protosincrotroni di Saclay e del CERN negli intervalli di energia. (0.5/1.45) GeV e (3/8) GeV. Viene discussa la possibilità di discriminazione tra eventi dovuti a sciami elettrofotonici ed eventi dovuti ad interazioni nucleari ed è data una. relazione empirica tra l’energia dell’elettrone primario e le dimensioni dello sciame.
