Abstract
The process of photoproduction of electron-positron pairs in bent single crystals is considered in this paper. In particular, it is shown that the probability of the process for gamma-quanta with energies from 100 GeV on is significantly higher than the one in an amorphous medium. A possible scenario for the experimental validation of the process is discussed and the positive features of the photoproduction in bent crystals compared to straight ones are underlined from the point of view of possible applications.
Highlights

The process of radiation emission of ultrarelativistic electrons and positrons moving in the planar fields of a bent single crystal was investigated
The present paper considers the process of eÆ-pair creation by high energy photons moving in a bent single crystal with a constant curvature
Summary
In recent years several experiments studying different processes of charged particle interaction with bent single crystals were performed [1,2,3]. The process of radiation emission of ultrarelativistic electrons and positrons moving in the planar fields of a bent single crystal was investigated. The present paper considers the process of eÆ-pair creation by high energy photons moving in a bent single crystal with a constant curvature. This study and the consequent results depend essentially on the periodic properties of the process and, cannot be used directly for the case of a bent single crystal with a constant curvature.
