Explain how pair annihilation with the creation of three photons is possible. Is it possible
in principle to create even more than three photons in a single annihilation process?
A particle and an antiparticle can annihilate and produce 3 photons as long as momentum is conserved. The momentum conservation is shown below.
In principle, the pair can also produce 4 or more photons. The case of 4 photons and conservation of momentum is shown below
