Pair Production
- 1932 Carl D. Anderson discovered “electrons” that curved the
wrong way while studying cosmic rays.
- High energy photons create positrons through pair production.
- A positron-emitting
radioisotope chemical
(containing a nucleus
such as 15O, 11C, 13N or
18
F) is injected into the
body.
- Patient is put in a
machine with detector Modern Physics by Thorten, Rex, 4th ed.
with a ring of detector
crystals.
