I've read that the device used to produce particle pairs is called a particle collider. this is a type of particle accelerator. You need at least 2 photons that do something in the vicinity of a heavy atomic nucleus, such as lead or gold.
What I'm trying to find is exactly what the photons do in the process of conversion to an electron-positron pair, and what is their relationship to the nucleus. Do they collide with the nucleus or with each other?

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
