Abstract
The fundamental diffusion equations describing the three-dimensional development of the electron-photon component of the cosmic radiation, are formulated. These equations take into account exactly ionization loss and variation of density in the medium, and enable one to determine all angular and radial moments of the distribution functions, as explicit functions of depth and energy for arbitrary initial conditions.Keywords
