We present a description of an experiment which can be used to search for effects of strong electromagnetic fields on the production of e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} pairs in the elastic scattering of two heavy ions at RHIC. A very brief discussion of other possible studies of electromagnetic phenomena at RHIC is also presented.
