QED, which is the most precisely tested theory of any kind ever,
accounts for pair-production in a much simpler way than the break-up
into composites that you propose. If you want to understand how QED
does this, both qualitatively and in full quantitative detail, then I
suggest you dive into two books to start:
QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter, by Richard Feynman
Introduction to High Energy Physics, by Donald Perkins, especially
chapters 1, 2, and 5.

Many thanks, I only have a basic working knowledge of QED including
Feynman's work (via his famous 3 physics books and some other
writings); maybe I understand the maths more than the applications.

Sorry, Tony, I've got some bad news. The 3 famous physics books that
Feynman wrote are for *freshman* class in physics. In between those
books and a "basic working knowledge" of QED, you will need additional
materials:
- two courses in classical mechanics, including Lagrangian and
Hamiltonian formulations
- at least one intermediate course in electrodynamics, including the
covariant form of Maxwell's equations
- at least one intermediate course in quantum mechanics, including
detailed work with solutions of the Dirac equation and pertubative
methods
- an advanced course in quantum field theory, including 2nd
quantization and renormalization.


What i;m thinking with the pair-production via SFT is similar to the
early work on the ionization of hydrogen as an infinite series
solution to the Balmer series solution. We do suspect that there is a
'Balmer-like' analytic solution to the spectroscopy of the photon

What spectroscopy of the photon? Do you know if data that I'm not
aware of?

which will give us a series of frequencies that hopefully will tie in
with the acoustic work we are doing. That is why we needed the
analytic expression for the photon's mass, 'cos this leads (almost)
directly on to the photon spectroscopy. So I've worked out the
photon's 'Balmer series' assuming the mass of the photon.

What it seems to me is if I'm understanding the internal dynamics of
the photon correctly is that the binding energy inside the photon
STAYS with the photon's sub-particles (I call these the ephectron and
the phroton) AFTER the pair-production, so that the

ephectron + half the binding energy ---> electron (+momentum)
phroton + half the binding energy ---> phroton (-momentum)

Actually we see a similar in SFT thing INSIDE the nucleus where it
appears the neutrino + electron can decay transforming a neutron into
a proton. So it appears that the neutrino WAS a binding field that
turns into a particle (in this case the neutrino WAS the binding
field). Same as with the pair production where a binding field
becomes part of a composite particle.- Hide quoted text -
