Pion interferometry with pion-source-medium interactions.
An extended pion source, which can be temporarily created by a high energy nuclear collision, will also absorb and distort the outgoing pions. We discuss how this effect alters the interferometric pattern of the two-pion momentum correlation function. In particular, we show that the two-pion correlation function decreases rapidly when the opening angle between the pions increases. The opening-a...
متن کاملPion Interferometry Using Wavepackets *
Originally the interferometric method of Hanburry Brown, Twiss (HBT) was developed in astronomy and used to determine the angular radii of stars [1]. Shortly afterwards it was recognized that a similar procedure can also be applied to pions emitted in high energy reactions to measure the size of the pion emitting source [2]. However, it is clear that the different conditions prevailing in high-...
متن کاملPion interferometry with higher-order cumulants
We have measured secondand third-order cumulants in UA1 data (p̄p collisions at 630 GeV/c). Rather than quoting numerical values for source parameters, we have used these in three checks to test the “quantum statistics” theory for consistency over these cumulants. In the process, we have found a method for folding theoretical correlation functions with experimental one-particle distributions. Ou...
متن کاملMulti-Pion Correlation Effects on Two-Pion Interferometry
A general derivation of the multi-pion correlation function for completely chaotic source is given. Its effects on the pion multiplicity distribution, twopion interferometry are studied. A generalized multi-pion correlation function for a partially coherent source is also discussed.
متن کاملResolving Power of 2-D Pion Interferometry∗
A χ2 analysis is performed to test the resolving power of two-dimensional pion interferometry using for illustration the preliminary E802 data on Si+Au at 14.6 AGeV/c. We find that the resolving power to distinguish two decoupling geometries of different dynamical models is enhanced by studying the variation of the mean χ2 per degrees of freedom with respect to the range of the analysis in the ...
