High-energy electron beams interacting with targets produce electromagnetic showers, a pathway for producing electronpositron pair plasma in the laboratory. Here, the authors solve kinetic equations to derive spectra and pair numbers for varying target thicknesses, with results validated by Geant4 simulations, an explicit formula for the density of outgoing pairs is then obtain.
