WHAT DOES PAIR PRODUCTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pair production

Pair production is the creation of an elementary particle and its antiparticle, for example an electron and its antiparticle, the positron, a muon and anti-muon, or a tau and anti-tau. Usually it occurs when a photon interacts with a nucleus, but it can be any other neutral boson, interacting with a nucleus, another boson, or itself. This is allowed, provided there is enough energy available to create the pair – at least the total rest mass energy of the two particles – and that the situation allows both energy and momentum to be conserved. However, all other conserved quantum numbers of the produced particles must sum to zero – thus the created particles shall have opposite values of each other. For instance, if one particle has electric charge of +1 the other must have electric charge of −1, or if one particle has strangeness of +1 then another one must have strangeness of −1. The probability of pair production in photon-matter interactions increases with photon energy and also increases approximately as the square of atomic number.

Definition of pair production in the English dictionary

The definition of pair production in the dictionary is the production of an electron and a positron from a gamma-ray photon in a strong field as that passes close to an atomic nucleus.
