Title: Double Positron-electron Pair Production, an Interaction of Electromagnetic Radiation with Matter
Authors: Robertson, Andrew
Advisor: Kennett, T. J.
Department: Physics
Keywords: Physics;Physics
Publication Date: Aug-1974
Abstract: <p>The task of detection and measurement of the instantaneous process of double positron-electron pair production was undertaken. Several targets of different atomic number were used, in conjunction with 6.6-MeV gamma rays, to isolate the process from the interfering two-pair processes known as the bremsstrahlung-cascade and the direct-cascade effects. A quantitatively significant value has been determined for the cross section for double pair production relative to that for single pair production.</p>
