Results of a Monte-Carlo simulation of electron-photon cascades are presented with particular emphasis on cascade lateral spread. The effects of single and multiple Coulomb scattering are represented by giving the particles suitable displacements in position and angle at each interaction point. Some of the more oblique particle tracks are first divided into a number of steps between interaction points and the scattering procedure is applied to each step separately. To represent the particle defections due the geomagnetic field, a field of 0.3 gauss is supposed present and the appropriate helical path is imposed on each particle between interaction points. The results are in good agreement with the calculations of Nordheim et al., with simulations using the Berger-Seltzer electron photon transport program and with experimental measurements in water.
