Abstract

The matrix elements have been calculated for the coalescence of two photons with antiparallel momenta and equal frequencies into one on an electron. An explicit expression for the differential probability for the process, with allowance for the polarization of all the particles, has been obtained in the nonrelativistic approximation.
