PAIR-PRODUCTION CROSS-SECTIONS FOR PHOTONS BOMBARDING PROTONS AT HIGH ENERGIES

Journal Article · · Phys. Letters
Calculations are described for obtaining a formula for the total cross section for the production of electron-positron pairs in an energy range above the proton rest energy. Only the diagrams that contribute to the Bethe-Heitler formula are considered, and a form-factor that corresponds to an exponential charge and moment distribution in the nonrelativistic limit is applied. The result of the calculation is the Bethe-Heitier formula independent of the form factor used, which is seen to wholly describe the total pair-production cross section in the field of a protron except for the VCpart.
