First, the primary spectrum of electrons produced by bremsstrahlung radiation is determined. These spectra can be obtained for electrons produced in graphite and aluminum with the use of two tables. The tables allow the determination of these spectra from bremsstrahlung radiation with maximum energy right up to 80 Mev. The problem of the attenuation of gamma rays in the material is also discussed and the appropriate corrections are presented. Finally. the net spectrum of electrons found at each layer of graphite and aluminum is obtained from the preliminary calculations of primary spectra. This net electron spectrum, as a function of depth of penetration, is given only for bremsstrahlung of E/sub i/sub max/ = 80 Mev. The rate of ionization in an air cavity in graphite and aluminum is computed with the aid of these calculations. These computations are in good agreement with experimental results. (TTT)
