Is there any information available on the possibility of reversing that process?

Yes.

Example 1: particle colliders. It is the reason why we need bigger and more powerful particle accelerators. The larger the collision energy, the greater the probability of creating the heavier particles.

Example 2: pair production.

Zz.
 
photon + photon => electron + positron
 
Thank you. ^_^
