The 31 pages that link to Pair production, each with the reason it gives.

• PhotonRelated: It shows how photon energy can become matter while conserving momentum.

• Ionizing radiationRelated: It becomes possible for high-energy photons and creates two charged particles.

• Compton scatteringCompared with: It removes the photon through conversion instead of redirecting it by electron recoil.

• X-rayRelated: It is a high-energy photon interaction that becomes possible above 1.022 MeV.

• IonizationCompared with: It creates charged particles rather than forming an ion by changing an atom's electron count.

• Gamma rayRelated: A sufficiently energetic gamma ray can create an electron–positron pair in matter.

• Gamma-ray astronomyRelated: Many gamma-ray telescopes reconstruct incoming photons from the electron–positron pairs they produce in detector material.

• Mass–energy equivalenceRelated: It directly converts energy into the rest mass of newly created particles.

• PositronRelated: A sufficiently energetic photon can produce an electron–positron pair near a nucleus.

• AntimatterRelated: It is a direct way to create matter and antimatter together.

• AntiparticleRelated: It produces antiparticles while conserving energy, momentum, and quantum numbers.

• Inverse Compton scatteringCompared with: It can absorb the high-energy photons that inverse Compton scattering creates.

• Charge conservationRelated: Opposite charges are created together, preserving the initial net charge.

• Relativistic mechanicsRelated: It demonstrates the role of relativistic energy and momentum in creating massive particles.

• C. T. R. WilsonRelated: Chamber photographs showed charged-particle pairs emerging from high-energy radiation.

• Carl David AndersonRelated: Photographs of electron–positron pairs provided independent evidence for the positron.
