A 5D, polarised, Bethe-Heitler event generator for $\gamma \to {\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ conversion

Abstract

I describe a five-dimensional, polarised, Bethe-Heitler event generator of $\gamma$-ray conversions to ${\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$, based on a generator for conversion to $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ developed in the past. Verifications are performed from close-to-threshold to high energies.
