when a photon interacts with a nucleus, a positron and an electron are created, provided the photo has enough energy.
But what is the probabilty of this occurring? If i fire 100 photons at a nucleus, how many electron-positron pairs will i create?
Also, has anyone ever succeeded in creating a proton-antiproton pair from gamma rays?
Is it possible?
