摘要: We report the first observation of positron creation in high-energy $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ + collisions and establish that a dominant fraction yield is from nonnuclear origins. The excess intensity observed over nuclear emission its projectile energy dependence consistent with recent predictions for pair-creation processes strong time-varying electric fields produced by combined charges quasimolecular system formed collision.
