  Matter creation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since momentum conservation law prohibits the creation of a pair of fermions out of a single photon, pair creation involves at least two photons or a single photon and one or more fermions.
It was found that the process of e+e- pair creation dominates in collision of ultrarelativistic charged particles (1).
Matter creation during the early development of the universe (see Big Bang) is the source of fermionic matter in the visible universe (which consists predominantly of electrons and protons (=hydrogen)).

 Dr. John H. Miller, Jr.
A model is discussed in which a field E induces the creation, by quantum tunneling, of pairs of oppositely charged solitons and antisolitons in a density wave.
Pair creation is blocked, for fields below a threshold value ET, because the increase in electrostatic energy would violate energy conservation.
Coulomb blockade prevents pair creation until the electric field exceeds a sharp threshold value, which can be much smaller than the classical depinning field.

Vortices are created or annihilated in pairs due to topological charge conservation.
The pair creation process may change the number of free vortices in the system by one or more.
For instance, a pair may be created in the neighboring cells of a free vortex, thus making all these vortices bound.

 McGraw-Hill AccessScience: Electron-positron pair production
Electron-positron pair production is an example of the materialization of energy predicted by special relativity and is accurately described by quantum electrodynamics.
Pair production usually refers to external pair production, in which the positron (positively charged antielectron) and electron are created from a high-energy gamma ray as it passes through matter.
Electron-positron pairs are also produced from internal pair conversions in nuclei, decays of unstable subatomic particles, and collisions between charged particles.

 Propagator in Relativistic Theory
In the relativistic case, there are not only the scattering processes, but also the pair creation and annihilation processes shown in figure 6.4.
Along the way, a pair is produced by a potential acting at 1; the positron of the pair annihilates an initial electron in the field at 3; the electron of the pair propagates up to point 2, where it is destroyed by the potential.
We see that we need not only the amplitude for an electron to be created, to propagate, and to be destroyed as in the nonrelativistic case, but also the amplitude for a positron to be created, to propagate, and to be destroyed.

 Creation As a Pseudo-Explanation in Current Physical Cosmology
For historical reasons, the term "creation" is laden with the notion of a creating agency or cause external to the created objects.
Although scientists are not in the habit of discussing the creation event or the situation prior to it, a lot of research has gone into the discussion of what the Universe was like immediately after its creation.
Take, for example, the phrases "pair creation" and "pair annihilation," which are familiar from the theory of particle reactions.

It is furthermore possible to calculate that a photon can’t create an electron positron pair without one more particle (nucleus nearby) that carries some momentum away.
The students understand that the photon was emitted by the electron with two consequences: the photon itself produced later an electron positron pair; the electron lost energy and momentum.
Depending on time and curriculum teachers can give more information about the probabilities for photons to occur pair creation or Compton effect (may be even photo effect is included to this discussion) depending on photon energy or/and surrounding material.

 Jahrbuch-CD der MPG 2003 - Nonlinear Bound-Free Pair Creat
We study e–e+ pair creation in the collision of a heavy nucleus with an intense x-ray laser, where the produced e– is simultaneously captured into the K shell of the projectile nucleus.
The parameters of the colliding system are chosen such that the absorption of at least two photons from the laser wave is required in order to surmount the energy threshold of the reaction.
According to our results, the process of nonlinear bound-free pair creation could become observable by the aid of the upcoming x-ray laser facilities.

 The Pseudo-Problem of Creation in Physical Cosmology
As Lovell sees it, "the major issue" between the competing steady-state and big bang models of the universe is "whether creation is occurring now and throughout all time in the past and in the future, or whether the fundamental material of the universe was created in its entirety some billions of years ago" (pp.
The relevant creation argument proceeds from the premise that there is a question as to where everything came from, or of "how" the world came into being, or as to who or what caused everything.
For example, in the case of the so-called "pair creation" of a particle and its anti-particle, such as a positron and an electron, their rest-mass formation as such occurs by conversion of other forms of energy such as a gamma ray into them.

 Miracles of the Qur'an - Modern Science Reveals New Miracles of the Qur'an
Glory be to Him Who created all the pairs: from what the earth produces and from themselves and from things unknown to them.
While "male and female" is equivalent to the concept of "pair," "things unknown to them," as expressed in the Qur'an, bears a broader meaning.
It is Allah Who created the heavens with no support-you can see them-and cast firmly embedded mountains on the earth so that it would not move under you, and scattered about in it creatures of every kind.

Fig.1 This bubble chamber picture shows some electromagnetic events such as pair creation or materialization of high energy photon into an electron-positron pair (green tracks), the Compton effect (red tracks), the emission of electromagnetic radiation by accelerating charges (violet tracks) (bremsstrahlung) and the knock-on electrons or delta ray (blue tracks)
The processes of electro-positron annihilation into photons pairs and of pair creation by photon are of interest both theoretically and experimentally.
It can be seen that the electron on the left side of the Compton process can be replaced by its antiparticle, the positron, on the other side of the interaction resulting pair annihilation.

The solution on a grid will give a direct visualization of the pair-creation process as the collision between the ions evolves in time, providing a powerful nonperturbative treatment for an inherently difficult problem.

 Is Dark Energy+Matter product of quantum particle-pair creation?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Because Dark Matter is the sum of all quantum particle-pair creations that do not result in annihilation, there could be many classes of particles involved.
If quantum particle-pair creation is truly the source of Dark matter, then the occasional annihilation of neutral anti-particles should be detectable.
Gravity is equated with space-time, and a new particle mass jumping out of the quantum field would contribute new gravity, and therefore new space-time, to the quantum continuum upon which the universe lies.

We present a summary of the present status of efforts to solve the problem in which pairs are produced in a strong electric field, are accelerated by it, and then react back on it through the counter-field produced by their current.
Last, we note the status of extensions to (i) the problem with three space dimensions; (ii) the fermion case; (iii) the formulation in terms of boost-invariant variables (as desirable for the quark-gluon plasma); and (iv) transport equations derived in a fundamental and consistent fashion.
We investigate the mechanism of pair creation in scalar QED from spatially homogeneous strong electric fields in 1+1 dimensions.
