The mechanism for pair production in the α-Decay of241Am

Abstract

The mechanism for pair production in the α-decay of241Am is discussed. The pair creation is dominantly involved with the dynamics of the α-decay process and contributions from237Np levels with energies >2mc 2 are relatively small. One of the authors (B.A.L.) would like to thank the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada for financial support.
