Spectrum of positrons produced due to interaction of gamma-ray background photons with soft background photons
The interaction of the cosmological gamma-ray background photons with soft cosmological background with producing electron-positron pairs is considered. It is shown that the majority of positrons are produced with energies of 10 Gev - 1 TeV. However, the interaction of ``X-ray" cosmological background photons may produce the positrons with energies of 10-100 keV.
