Is it possible to produce images of pair production in home-made cloud chamber?

Basics You need to be able to generate a pair-creation event and be able to image it well enough to know what it was. Getting a pair conversion event Pair creation calls for the highest energy …

Pair production of neutrinos

There is no tree level vertex for a neutrino scattering off of a photon, so you have two choices: Weak Drell-Yan if the progenitors are leptons. That is $$l + \bar{l} \to Z^0 \to \nu + \bar{\nu} \,. …

momentum conservation in particle-antiparticle creation

Being "near by" means that there is (unavoidably) an interaction between them. The problem is no longer $$ \gamma \to e^+ + e^- \,,$$ but $$ \gamma + A \to e^+ + e^- + A\,,$$ (here $A$ represents th …
