Can an e-p pair be created simply from field interactions rather than brute force collisions of atomic nuclei?
E-p pair creation without nuclear collision is a phenomenon in which an electron (e-) and a positron (p) are spontaneously created from the energy of a high-energy photon, without the need for a nuclear collision.
E-p pair creation without nuclear collision occurs through the process of photon splitting, where a high-energy photon interacts with the electric field of an atom and splits into an electron-positron pair.
Yes, E-p pair creation without nuclear collision has been observed in nature through experiments using high-energy particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
E-p pair creation without nuclear collision is an important phenomenon in understanding the nature of matter and energy, and it has implications in fields such as particle physics and astrophysics.
Yes, E-p pair creation without nuclear collision is thought to have played a significant role in the creation of matter in the early universe, as it is one of the mechanisms through which matter and antimatter could have been produced in equal amounts.
