Electromagnetic showers in a strong magnetic field

Abstract

We present the results concerning the main shower characteristics in a strong magnetic field obtained through shower simulation. The processes of magnetic bremsstrahlung and pair production were taken into account for values of the parameter $\chi \gg 1$. We compare our simulation results with a recently developed cascade theory in a strong magnetic field.
