New results on Coulomb effects in meson production in relativistic heavy ion collisions

We propose a new method of investigating the space-time evolution of meson production in heavy ion collisions, by making use of spectator-induced electromagnetic (“Coulomb”) effects. The presence of two nuclear remnants (“spectator systems”) in the non-central collision generates a strong Coulomb f...
