a ) A beam of photons with just barely enough individual photon energy to create electron positron
Fantastic news! We've Found the answer you've been seeking!
Question:
a A beam of photons with just barely enough individual photon energy to create electronpositron pairs undergoes Compton scattering from free electrons before any pair production occurs. Can the Comptonscattered photons create electronpositron pairs?
b An electron and a positron are moving toward each other and each has speed c in the lab frame. What is the kinetic energy of each particle?
c What is the wavelength of each photon?
d How does the wavelength compare to the photon wavelength when the initial kinetic energy of the positron and electron is negligibly small?
