On the theory of generation of a polarized muon-photon shower in crystals under different initial conditions

The process of formation of a polarized muon-photon shower in crystals has been investigated under the following initial conditions: (i) a shower is generated by a high-energy longitudinally polarized initial muon and (ii) a shower is generated by a circulaly polarized high-energy γ photon. Analytic...

Description
Summary:The process of formation of a polarized muon-photon shower in crystals has been investigated under the following initial conditions: (i) a shower is generated by a high-energy longitudinally polarized initial muon and (ii) a shower is generated by a circulaly polarized high-energy γ photon. Analytical expressions have been obtained for the distribution functions of polarized shower muons and γ photons in the medium and comparative analysis of the number of shower particles under different initial conditions has been performed.
