Using the semiclassical Green's function in the Coulomb field, we analyze the probabilities of single and multiple e⁺e^- pair production at a fixed impact parameter b between colliding ultrarelativistic heavy nuclei. We perform calculations in the Born approximation with respect to the parameter Z_Bα and exactly in Z_Aα, where Z_A and Z_B are the charge numbers of the corresponding nuclei. We also obtain the approximate formulas for the probabilities valid for Z_Aα, .
