According to Complete Relativity (an improvement of Special Relativity where a new postulate was introduced: an electron cannot move at average speeds less than  u0 = αc / π  where  α  is the constant of fine structure and  c  is the speed of light), and with the hypothesis that the electron and positron are two three-dimensional electromagnetic spherical standing waves, the electromagnetic standing waves of an electron-positron pair can overlap in the low energy conditions and generate a single  γ ray  of  E = 1.022  MeV.  Instead the actual physical theories consider a model of positron-electron pair annihilation, where conservation of momentum requires the creation of two 511 keV photons moving toward opposite directions. But in the paper we do not consider any photons: there is only a progressive electromagnetic wave compound by two electromagnetic standing waves. Only a thorough test will be able to decide the right model.

Abstract We study capability of the ILC beam dump experiment to search for new physics, comparing the performance of the electron and positron beam dumps. The dark photon, axion-like particles, and light scalar bosons are considered as new physics scenarios, where all the important production mechanisms are included: electron-positron pair-annihilation, Primakoff process, and bremsstrahlung productions.We find that the ILC beam dump experiment has higher sensitivity than past beam dump experiments, with the positron beam dump having slightly better performance for new physics particles which are produced by the electron-positron pair-annihilation.
