Abstract
We have made a measurement of very-low-energy pair production from collisions at 18 GeV/c. Using the SLAC 1-m bubble chamber to study a sample of 178× interactions, we find a signal of centrally produced direct pairs which accounts for (48±13)% of all pairs detected with and MeV/c. This measurement agrees with a calculation of pair production from the internal conversion of hadronic bremsstrahlung.
