Question:
Two photons flying in opposite directions collide. Let E1 and E2 be their energies.
(1) Find the minimum value of E1 to allow the process γ1 + γ2 → e+ + e- to occur if E2 = 10 eV.
(2) Answer the same question if E1 = 2E2.
(3) Find the centre of mass speed in the latter case.
(4) Draw the lowest-order Feynman diagram of the process.

I am Vitalie and currently, I am a master (MSc) student with a specialization in advanced technologies.
I've started tutoring when I was 17 years old, by helping my classmates with different subjects, such as math, physics, chemistry. Later I developed a passion for tutoring. I have experience of 3 years in tutoring international students, especially in physics and astronomy. Occasionally, I was tutoring in a winter camp of astronomy and astrophysics in my country. From my past experience, I have built a great background and improved my tutoring skills and now tutoring became a part of my life.
