Validations performed from near-threshold to high energies.

Extends previous electron-based generators to muons.

Abstract

I describe a five-dimensional, polarised, Bethe-Heitler event generator of $\gamma$-ray conversions to $\mu^+\mu^-$, based on a generator for conversion to $e^+e^-$ developed in the past. Verifications are performed from close-to-threshold to high energies.
