Abstract:
Considering the contributions of the main term of the relativistic Coulombian Green function given by Hostler to the second order of the S-matrix element and taking into account only the large components of Dirac spinor of the K shell and 2s subshell, we have obtained the imaginary part of the Rayleigh amplitudes in terms of elementary functions. Thereby, simple and high accurate formulae for the total cross-sections for photoeffect and pair production with the electron created in the K shell and 2s subshell are obtained via the optical theorem. Comparing the predictions given by our formulae with the full relativistic numerical calculations of Kissel et al and Scofield, a good agreement is found if screening effects are taken into account, for photon energies both below and above the pair production threshold energy.
