The probability of pair production (atomic cross section) in the interacting medium varies as Z squared (mnemonic Z squared , the two is a pair!)
In pair production after expending energy for the creation of the pair, the excess photon energy is shared by the electron and positron.
In pair production the positron at the end of it's range in the medium is annihilated resulting in two annihilation photons.
