Description

Collisions between two heavy ions provide a unique means of extending the experimentally accessible range of quantum electrodynamics (QED) owing to formation of quasi-molecular electronic states. In this paper the properties of electrons and pions in strong and supercritical external Coulomb potentials are reviewrd with particular emphasis on spontaneous positron production in heavy ion collisions.
