Electron-positron pair production by linearly polarized photon in the nuclear field

Abstract

Process of lepton pair production by polarized photon on nuclei can be used to measure the degree of linear polarization of high energy photon. The differential cross section and the analyzing power are calculated with taking into account higher powers of expansion on $Z\alpha$. Pure Coulomb and screened potential are considered.
