Electromagnetic cascades in magnetized media

The investigation of the astrophysical nature of gamma-ray sources and the processes responsible for their broad-band emission requires a detailed modeling of their observable spectrum, in which electromagnetic cascades can play an important role. An open issue in this modeling is the effect of magn...
