Can the products of high-energy particle collisions include the creation of electromagnetic/strong/weak/gravitational fields (whether transient or not) in parallel with or in lieu of other new particles?

I'm not sure what you mean by "creation of field".

The high energy collisions can produce photons, gluons and Z / W bosons. These particles are ripples in electromagnetic / strong / weak fields. So from that perspective - yes, the high energy collisions can produce events in various fields, including electromagnetic field.

BTW, all particles are ripples in various quantum fields: electrons, neutrions, quarks... all fermions and bosons.
