Physics results versus cuts

Description

Electromagnetic shower development in a homogeneous medium (PbWO4).
Physics results as a function of the production threshold.

Cut in Range -----> a set of cuts in energy:
(Energy threshold for Gamma, Energy threshold for e-+, ...)

Cut in lengthGamma Energy in PbWO4e- Energy in PbWO4
50 micron 12 keV 136 keV
100 micron 20 keV 210 keV
500 micron 60 keV 642 keV
1 mm 85 keV1.13 MeV
5 mm 137 keV5.34 MeV
1 cm 219 keV11.5 MeV
