Abstract
The possibility of the determination of the mean multiplicity of secondaries, n(E), with the aid of the cascade characteristics has been studied using the nuclear cascade with one-type particles as an example. For the simple model of interaction with the inelasticity coefficient k = 1 the energy spectra of particles in the showers produced by the particles of various energies have been calculated. The function n(E) has been restored in the higher-energy range on the assumption that the calculated spectra are known from the "experiment," and the function n(E) at low energies has been measured within good accuracy. Estimates of the accuracy of the cascade data necessary for determining n(E) within the given accuracy are presented.
