Abstract
We discuss electron-positron pair production by super-intense, short l aser pulses off the physical vacuum state locally deformed by (strippe d) nuclei with large nuclear charges. Consequences of non-perturbative vacuum polarization resulting from such a deformation are briefly bro ached. Production probabilities per pulse are calculated.
