Rapidity dependence of Bose-Einstein correlations at SPS energies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article is devoted to results on π−-π−-Bose-Einstein correlations in central Pb+Pb collisions measured by the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS. Rapidity as well as transverse momentum dependences of the correlation lengths will be shown for collisions at 20A, 30A, 40A, 80A, and 158A GeV beam energy. Only a weak energy dependence of the radii is observed at SPS energies. The kt -dependence of the correlation lengths as well as the single particle mt -spectra will be compared to model calculations. The rapidity dependence is analysed in a range of 2.5 units of rapidity starting at the center of mass rapidity at each beam energy. The correlation lengths measured in the longitudinally comoving system show only a weak dependence on rapidity.

BOSE-EINSTEIN CORRELATIONS IN PION PRODUCTION AT TRISTAN
Measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations in the production of like-signed pion pairs has been made with the AMY detector at TRISTAN. An event sample of 10120 hadronic events with ranging between 50 to 61 GeV was used. These measurements indicate a strength of the enhancement of ? = 0.61M.07, with a typical correlation size of Ro = 1.16±.08 fm. This value of ? is consistent with measurem...
متن کاملEnergy and rapidity dependence of electric charge correlations at 20-158GeV beam energies at the CERN SPS (NA49)
Electric charge correlations are studied with the Balance Function method for central Pb + Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. The results on centrality selected Pb + Pb interactions at 40 and 158 AGeV are presented for the first time for two different rapidity intervals. In the mid-rapidity region a decrease of the width with increasing centrality of the collision is observed whereas in the forward...
متن کاملUsing the Balance Function to study the charge correlations of hadrons
We present the recent Balance Function (BF) results obtained by the NA49 collaboration for the pseudo-rapidity dependence of non-identified charged particle correlations for two SPS energies. Experimental results indicate a clear centrality dependence only in the mid-rapidity region. The results of an energy dependence study of the BF throughout the whole SPS energy range will also be discussed...
متن کاملBeam Energy and Centrality Dependence of Two-Pion Bose-Einstein Correlations at SPS Energies
Results are presented of a two-pion interferometry (HBT) analysis in Pb+Au collisions at 40, 80, and 158 AGeV. A detailed study of the Bertsch-Pratt HBT radius Preprint submitted to Elsevier Science 8 February 2008 parameters has been performed as function of the mean pair transverse momentum kt and in bins of the centrality of the collision. From these results we extract model dependent inform...
متن کاملIntermittency and Bose-Einstein correlations
The role of Bose-Einstein correlations in a widely discussed intermittency phenomenon is reviewed. In particular, it is shown that particle correlations of different origin are better displayed when analysed as functions of appropriately chosen variables. Correspondingly, if the shape of Bose-Einstein contribution is chosen to be Gaussian in 3momentum transferred, it provides the power-like law...
