Abstract

The process of pair production by a decaying nucleus, excited by the incident photon, and the interference between this and the process of pair production by the incident photon in the field of the nucleus are considered. It is found that the nuclear contributions are pronounced for large scattering angles but the cross sections there are quite small. For forward scattering the Bethe-Heitler cross section is dominant.
