Can anyone point me to the equations for proton-antiproton pair
prodution from photon collisions? And is it related to how
electron-positron pair production occurs, in reference to Dirac's
equations?

Thanks!

Umm. Getting a book would help. Bjorken and Drell is one you should be
able to find in used book stores for cheap.

Thank you!

I have read a bit on J.D Bjorken and S.D Drells work from
Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, specially in regards to Dirac
matrices. Very good resource for electron-positron pair production. I
was hoping to find more information leaning toward proton-antiproton
pair production, as they (protons) are not fundemental particles like
electrons, I'm only guessing that it would be, at least slightly
different equations.

Thank you again.

In that case, if you want to make the most direct comparison, then try
an HEP textbook, like the ones by David Griffiths, B. R. Martin, Don
Perkins, or Abe Seiden.

If you want to look at it in detail, then it is very much different
than e-e+ production, there being three pairs of quark-antiquarks that
have to be created in the annihilation.

Thank's again! this was what I was looking for.
And in my post should have used elementary particle and not fundemental
particle.
