Simulations, made using EGS5, of the longitudinal and radial distributions of energy deposition of electrons of various energies are compared with experimental results in the literature. Energies and materials are: 1 GeV in water and aluminum; 6 GeV in aluminum, copper and lead; and (longitudinal only) 28.5 GeV in alumina (Al 2 O 3 ). There is general agreement within a few percent over most of the shower profile. Substantial discrepancies are noted at depths far beyond shower maximum, reaching ∼30 -50% in the cases of lead and copper at 6 GeV. .

Based on elastic collisions, the linear momentum of a fast neutron can be measured from as few as two consecutive recoil ion tracks plus the vertex position of the third collision, or 'two and half' ion tracks. If the time delay between the first two consecutive ion tracks is also measured, the number of ion tracks can be reduced to one and a half. The angular and magnitude resolutions are limited by ion range straggling to about ten percent. Multi-wire proportional chambers and light-field imaging are discussed for fast neutron tracking. Single-charge or single-photon detection sensitivity is required in either approach. Light-field imaging is free of charge-diffusion-induced image blur, but the limited number of photons available can be a challenge.1 H, 2 H and 3 He could be used for the initial development of fast neutron trackers based on light-field imaging.
