Abstract

The cross section for creating, in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, a negatively charged meson such as ..pi../sup -/ or K/sup -/ in the atomic orbits of the nuclear fragments is evaluated in the participant-spectator model. Its magnitude depends sensitively on the lifetime of the source. For a lifetime comparable to the collision time, the cross section is appreciable.
