We study the radiative pair production and we give the differential cross-section for two kinematical cases. Pair, electron and positron with the same momentum, forward and scattered photon emitted at an angleθ. Photon emitted in the forward direction and pair, still electron and positron with the same momentum, emitted at an angleθ. The calculations are performed with the standard perturbative theory in Born approximation. For small angleθ and for incident γ energy available from modern synchrotrons the two cross-sections are sufficiently high so that they can be measured.
