Abstract
The cross-section for (e+,e−)-pair production in collisions of non-relativistic charged particles has been calculated to lowest order in the fine structure constant and leading power of the relative velocity of the colliding particles. Thus the deflection of colliding particles is included in one-photon-exchange approximation, while the Coulomb distortion of the (e+,e−)-pair is omitted. We have laid particular emphasis on current conservation. The previously neglected contribution of the spatial part of the current turns out to be dominant.
