Pair production (gamma ray interactions)

Input(s)

$E_{c}$: Energy of Compton Electrons $(\mathrm{MeV})$

E: Energy Required to Remove Electron from Shell $(\mathrm{MeV})$

Output(s)

$E_{e}$: Energy of Each Photoelectron in Pair Production (MeV)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{e}}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{c}}-\mathrm{E} $$
