We consider the 4 $\gamma\gamma ll$ ($l=\mu,\ e$) events reported by the L3 collaboration, and go through the logical possibilities which could explain the events. If they are not coincidental bremsstrahlung events, we find that the physics…
We study the effects of nonzero photon momentum on the triply-differential cross section for (\gamma,2e) processes. Due to the low value of the photon momentum, these effects are weak and manifest only in special kinematical conditions like…

By photo-transmutation of leptons we mean photon-lepton reactions of the following type: $\gamma l_\alpha \longrightarrow \gamma l_\beta$ with $l_\alpha \neq l_\beta$, occurring as a consequence of the lepton mass matrix changing its…
