This process was mentioned by Cecil Monk in a third year course during my undergraduate degree in about 1970 and was studied by people like Bethe in the early twentieth century. My notes for this undergraduate course is now in the archives of my autobiography volume 2. It was taught in a fairly simple minded way. Looking at Google keywords “electron positron annihilation kinetic energy” I find the process described in a CERN course in a shockingly careless and simple minded way, with grammatical and other errors. The theory of annihilation given in that CERN course is just the same as the original Compton theory, so both have been out dated completely by the UFT papers. The two processes are related by what is known as cross over symmetry. If
A + B = C + D
in a particle interaction, then:
A + C bar = B bar + D
where the bar denotes antiparticle. I will write this out in a subsequent note for UFT247. In the electron positron collision there must be conservation of total energy, total linear and total angular momentum and total charge. At high energies the process is claimed in standard particle physics to produce W(plus) and W(minus) pairs and the Z boson, but these theory has been clinically deconstructed in the attached. The international collider thing is meant to try to observe the non existent Higgs boson with electron positron annihilation. This opens the way for an entirely new theory of the hyper expensive happenings at CERN. The EP annihilation process has been studied for thirty five years, producing vast amounts of data. However, the basics are again very shaky. We have come to expect this by now. We are told on careless sites such as wikipedia that when a positron and electron collide, both become instantaneously at rest with instantaneously zero total momentum, so in the simplest case two gamma rays (photons) are given off each with the rest energy of the electron and positron. Dr. Monk did not explain why this can be so, so as an undergraduate I memorized and regurgitated. Thinking about it, this cannot be so, because the created photons are supposed to be moving in opposite directions, and the rest energy has been picked up from electron and positron moving in opposite directions and colliding. Only part of the energy of the moving electron is claimed to have been given to that photon, the rest energy. There must be an excess energy E, which is exacly what is deduced in notes so far for UFT247. It is not even clear that the gamma rays are observed to have this claimed rest energy , or whether this is just a claim. As usual the stadnard physics literature is obscurantism personified and is almost unreadable. No wonder I threw up as an undergraduate. The conservation of energy equation given at the CERN course is simple minded, it is:
E + m c squared = E(gamma) + (E gamma)
but now we know that this equal mass equation collapses if we take into account the de Broglie / Einstein equations. CERN has never done this. The equation above does not describe a moving electron and positron, one particle is at rest. So it is time to rewrite particle theory entirely. Scattering processes in standard particle theory are always described as elastic, in which case the theory collapses completely under certain well defined circumstances discovered for the first time in UFT158 – UFT170, and UFT245 onwards. CERN has totally failed to react to the attached refutation, which is a devastating criticism of crass carelessness in standard physics. The latter does not allow its captive readership to think, even on the most elementary level.
