Title: Measuring the source size at mid-rapidity using HBT for very central Au-Au collisions at AGS energies

Journal Article · · Bulletin of the American Physical Society
OSTI ID:255487

Hanbury-Brown Twiss correlations are used to measure the source size for charged pions in fixed target Au-Au collision at roughly 11A {center_dot} GeV/c using the E866 spectrometer. The measured source size parameter is studied as a function of energy deposited in a zero-degree calorimeter, focusing especially on the region of very lot energy deposition which corresponds to the most central collisions.
