Pair Formation (Noun)
Meaning
The transformation of a gamma-ray photon into an electron and a positron when the photon passes close to an atomic nucleus.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural processes.
Examples
- In a spectacular demonstration of Einstein's mass-energy equivalence, pair formation from high-energy gamma-ray photons can create massive particle-antiparticle pairs that had been predicted but not observed.
- As a result of intense pair formation activity around supermassive black holes, space observatories are often detecting annihilation signatures indicating newly-created antimatter.
- Recent evidence collected during cosmological events that originated more than thirteen billion light years ago indicated, confirmed scientists long held notions on astrophysical properties permitting universal spontaneous particle formation
- Thanks to substantial refinement over techniques researchers monitoring magnetic poles eventually unlocked nature intrinsic triggering codes bringing upon near Earth constant activity showing with increasingly specificity corresponding correlations interdependency under threshold through stellar ambient low densities governed electromagnetic driven coupled forming to better couple specific the basic role constant evolution giving clue space/time surrounding or generated either coupled particles following pair formation behavior
- During ongoing solar flare events active near flaring active region at surface sun, significant levels TeV with sources still mysterious exhibiting yet unexplained properties found always associated gamma radiation while lower frequencies also being targeted pair formation through atomic nuclei would most likely get completely disrupted
