Abstract

New results of relatively high-precision measurements to study atomic pair production by photons in the threshold region together with some other previous measurements are presented for a critical evaluation of the new calculations with corrections of Coulomb effect and atomic-electron screening effect in the low-energy pair production. This evaluation reveals the degree in which the theory is in greater agreement with measurements in the threshold region and indicates the trend of cross sections as a function of atomic number and photon energy.
