Broad-wheeler effect

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Breit-Wheeler effect describes how light can be converted into matter . The process of generating an electron - positron pair through photon collision was described by Gregory Breit and John A. Wheeler in the Physical Review in 1934 .

Direct evidence has not yet been provided in the laboratory .
