Title: Imaging Three Dimensional Two-Particle Correlations for Heavy-Ion Reaction Studies

Journal Article · · Physical Review C

The authors report an extension of the source imaging method for analyzing three-dimensional sources from three-dimensional correlations. The technique consists of expanding the correlation data and the underlying source function in spherical harmonics and inverting the resulting system of one-dimensional integral equations. With this strategy, they can image the source function quickly, even with the extremely large data sets common in three-dimensional analyses.
