Abstract
Feynman's method is used to calculate the differential and total probabilities of the process of coalescence of two photons into one photon on an electron when the momenta of the initial photons are antiparallel. Different kinematic variants of the effect are considered in the non-relativistic and ultrarelativistic regions of the energies of the initial photons.
