Abstract
The amount of information contained in the moments of the angular and radial distribution functions of an electron-photon cascade is investigated. Methods of reconstructing the distribution functions from their moments are analyzed. It is shown that under the Landau approximation the moments determine accurately the angular distribution for all values of greater than 0.5, and the radial distribution for all values of greater than 3.
