Abstract
The cross section for the muon pair creation by an electron is investigated by the Feynman-Dyson method. Its numerical values are calculated at the incident energy about 1 Bev. At the angles of emitted muons θ+ = θ- ≪ 45°, the main contribution to the cross section comes from the Feynman diagrams in which the virtual photon has a time-like four-momentum.Keywords
