Abstract
This thesis deals with the physics of two photon processes. We first introduce
covariant perturbation theory and apply it to some quantum electrodynamics
processes. We start with study of electron-positron pair production in the field of a
static nucleus. We then deal with applications to electron-positron pair production
through collision of virtual photons in high energy electron-electron scattering. Next
we study the pair conversion of bremsstrahlung photon in high energy proton-proton
scattering. Detailed evaluations of cross sections are given
