When this occurs repeatedly in a substance and increases in number, it is called a nuclear cascade shower or N-cascade. In the case of gamma rays and electrons, the interaction with the electric field within the atom causes gamma rays to create electron-positron pairs, and electrons and positrons to repeatedly emit gamma rays, so the shower is a mixture of gamma rays, electrons, and positrons, and is called an electromagnetic cascade shower or electromagnetic cascade. …
