Pair production by muons in the field of nuclei
Keyword(s):
The differential cross section for the production of electron pairs by muons has been obtained under the assumption that all particles are relativistic and that the Thomas–Fermi model can be used to evaluate the effect of screening. Analytical expressions have been obtained for the energy loss of muons by pair production for the two extreme cases of "no screening" and "complete screening". Results of numerical calculation of energy loss by this process are given as a function of muon energy, for rock with Z = 11.
