Particle-particle Correlations and the Space-time Structure of Heavy Ion Collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
The present status of the use of two-particle intensity interferometry as a diagnostic tool to study the space-time dynamics of intermediate energy heavy ion collisions is examined. Calculations for the two-proton and two-pion correlation functions are presented and compared to experiment. The calculations are based on the nuclear Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport theory.

On Bose-condensation of Wave-packets in Heavy Ion Collisions
The study of the statistical properties of quantum systems has a long history with important recent developments. In high energy physics quantum statistical correlations are studied in order to infer the space-time dimensions of the intermediate state formed in elementary particle reactions. In high energy heavy ion collisions hundreds of bosons are created. The correct theoretical description ...
متن کاملTwo-particle correlations in Pb+Au collisions at the top SPS energy
Two-particle correlations are an excellent tool to examine the space-time evolution of the emitting source in heavy ion collisions [1]. In particular, the collective expansion of the source created in a collision with a finite impact parameter should lead to geometric asymmetries in the freeze-out hypersurface. To detect them, the correlation functions should be studied as a function of the pai...
متن کاملParticle Interferometry from 40 MeV to 40 TeV
Recent developments are summarized in the theory of Bose– Einstein and Fermi–Dirac correlations, with emphasis on the necessity of a simultaneous analysis of particle spectra and quantum statistical correlations for a detailed reconstruction of the space-time picture of particle emission. The reviewed topics are as follows: basics and formalism of quantum-statistical correlations, model-indepen...
متن کاملThree-particle correlation from glasma flux tubes
We compute three particle correlations in the Glasma flux tube model of high energy heavy ion collisions. We obtain a simple geometrical picture of these correlations; when convoluted with final state radial flow, it results in distinct predictions for the near side three particle correlation in central heavy ion collisions.
متن کاملA Four Component Picture for Jet Induced Correlations in Heavy Ion Collisions? Recent Results on Two and Three Particle Correlations
These proceedings review recent results from two and three particle correlations in heavy ion collisions. In particular we discuss the modified structure of the away side jet correlations. Under the assumption that the away side can be decomposed into a punch through component at ∆φ = π and a shoulder component with a peak displaced from π many similar properties are observed between the ridge ...
