Hi All,
How can a high energy (above 1 MeV) gamma ray interact with a protium (hydrogen with only a proton in nucleus)? Does it only ionize it? Does it break it up? Does a chain reaction occur where antiparticles are formed and then annihilated, spitting out another gamma ray? I've been trying to find an answer, and so far haven't found anything. I would greatly appreciate getting a clear answer from anybody.
