Abstract
Coherent production of lepton pair in muon scattering by nucleus is considered. With the help of different approaches (equivalent photon approximation, direct numerical and analytical calculations) we obtain total cross section of this reaction and distributions over invariant masses of final leptons. Special attention is paid to influence of final lepton identity on total and differential cross sections. We also study the role of coherence condition. Total cross sections of charmonia production in muon interaction with electromagnetic field of nucleus are also presented.
