“…Studies of 1.7 GeV/A Fe+Fe, 1.5 GeV/A Nb+Nb [129] and 1.3 GeV/A La+La collisions [130] yield R ⊥ values (corrected by √ 2 for comparison with the AGS fits) of 2.8, 3.4, and 3.2 fm, respectively. These give ξ = 1.2-1.4.…”

ABSTRACT:Two-particle momentum correlations between pairs of identical particles produced in relativistic heavy-ion reactions can be analyzed to extract the space-time structure of the collision fireball. We review recent progress in the application of this method, based on newly developed theoretical tools and new high-quality data from heavy-ion collision experiments. Implications for our understanding of the collision dynamics and for the search for the quark-gluon plasma are discussed.

“…Both were first introduced into the literature by Zajc (22) in Open symbols include correction for Coulomb interaction among all pairs. Projections were generated according to the prescription described in (140). the form of the Gamow factor given in Section 2 and an empirical parameter λ to account for the observation that not all pairs exhibit femtoscopic correlations.…”

Analyses of two-particle correlations have provided the chief means for determining spatio-temporal characteristics of relativistic heavy ion collisions. We discuss the theoretical formalism behind these studies and the experimental methods used in carrying them out. Recent results from RHIC are put into context in a systematic review of correlation measurements performed over the past two decades. The current understanding of these results is discussed in terms of model comparisons and overall trends.

“…1, insert). The electronic event trigger was the same as in previous experiments [28,34]. That is, the coincidence condition requires ( 1) a coincidence signal from the two scintillation counters before the Janus magnet, (2) two separated hits in the two-plane scintillator array after the magnet and (3) the prompt signals signal from the tracking wire chambers [34].…”

“…Since the discovery by Goldhaber et al [l, 2] that proton-antiproton annihilations produce more like-charged than oppositely charged pion pairs with small momentum difference; many theoretical [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and experimental [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] studies have been done to investigate the "Goldhaber-Goldhaber-Lee-Pais" (GGLP) effect. The intensity correlation of two like particles is a consequence of the quantum mechanical symmetry requirement imposed on the wave functions of bosons.…”
