    Pair Production: Waves

    Uploaded by

    Umair Mumtaz
    Pair production occurs when a high-energy photon interacts with matter and converts into an electron-positron pair. It was first predicted by Paul Dirac in 1925 and provides an example of creating particles from energy alone. The minimum energy required for pair production is 1.02 MeV, which is used to create the particle masses, with any excess energy transferred as kinetic energy. Common particles produced through pair production include electrons, positrons, protons, and other fundamental particles.

    INTRODUCTION

     Pair production is formation or materialization of two electrons, one negative


    and the other positive (positron), from a pulse of electromagnetic energy
     traveling through matter, usually in the vicinity of an atomic nucleus. It is also
    known as materialization of energy.
     Pair production is a direct conversion of radiant energy to matter. It is one of the
    principal ways in which high-energy gamma rays are absorbed in matter.
     Examples includes creating an electron and a positron, a muon and an antimuon,
    or a proton and an antiproton.
     Pair production is a high energy phenomena in energy-matter interaction.
     Energy required to carry out this process is 1.02 Mev. The surplus energy is
    carried out by the particles as kinetic energy.
    PHYSICAL DEMONSTRATION
    HISTORY

     The pair production phenomena was first predicted by a British


    physicist P.A.M. Dirac in 1925.
     The purpose for looking at pair production is it provides an
    example of where the physical world seemed to create
    something from nothing.
     That understanding, in turn, can help us understand how our
    inner world can be directly reflected in the outer.
     Pair production is about how energy transforms from a
    massless photon into a particle and antiparticle with mass.
     It essence it is about creating something (particles with mass)
    from nothing (energy without mass). Pair Production from the Sea of
    Negative Mass”.
    RELATION WITH EINSTEIN
    EQUATION
      Sometimes, a photon turns into a particle and its
    antiparticle, for example, an electron and a positron.  It
    could not turn into just an electron, since this would
    leave the lepton number unbalanced. The photon must
    have enough energy to create the masses of the two
    particles. The energy required to create one of the
    particles is given by:
    E=
     where m is the mass of the particle, and c is the speed of
    light (3 x 108 ms−1). However, two particles must be created.
    Since the two particles are each other's antiparticle, they
    have identical masses. So, the total energy required is:
    Eo
