It is shown that the large $\pi^{-}/\pi^{+}$ ratio at low pion energies recently observed in the reaction of Au+Au at $E_{beam}/A=1.0$ GeV at SIS/GSI is due to the strong Coulomb field of the reaction system.
Electromagnetic field produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions contains much useful information, because the field can be directly related to the motion of the matter in the whole stage of the reaction. One can divide the total…
