Do have a look at a gamma ray cascade, from an energetic cosmic ray for example. (already discovered before WWII) You see energetic gamma rays creating energetic electron-positron pairs, which produced more gammas, which produce more pairs, and so on, until you have a particle shower that is easily detected, Jan
