Pair production interests me - create matter from electromagnetic waves.
So far I have read that a Positron-Electron pair can be created by photons having energy exceeding twice the rest energy (m * c ^ 2) of an electron (1.022 MeV).
So, if you have photons exceeding the energy of an up and down quark, (Max 6.8 MeV), you would be creating up and down quarks in addition to electrons and positrons?
