It is real enough if you work with radiation detection equipment. Any field with a photon flux including photons >1.02 MeV will have secondary photons of 0.511 mev from positron/electron annihilation events
I guess it just depends on your definition of "real". (masters science -Applied Nuclear Science -1978 - Ga. Tech)
