OSTI ID:5016139
Inclusive reactions of pion, Ne collisions at 10.5 GeV/c have been studied. The pion intensity interference effect has been observed in identical pion (..pi../sup +/, ..pi../sup -/, and ..pi../sup -/, ..pi../sup -/) as well as non-identical (..pi../sup +/, ..pi../sup -/) pion pair correlations. A momentum dependence is observed in the interference correlation function at small momentum differences. Previously only the identical pion interference correlations have been reported. In this thesis, the non-identical pion pair correlation is also studied. The momentum dependence is also new. For (..pi../sup -/,..pi../sup +/) and (..pi../sup -/,..pi../sup -/) pairs, the enhancement is due mostly to pions with mom/sup */>600 MeV/c. However for (..pi../sup +/, ..pi../sup +/) pairs, the peak is due primarily to pions with mom<200 MeV/c. Using the method of Kopylov and Podgoretsky the identical pion source region is determined to be 4.1 +/- 2.3 fermis. Also the influence on the final state correlations by the Bose statistics, Coulomb, and nuclear forces is observed. The possibility of using the (..pi../sup +/,..pi../sup -/) pion pair correlations to examine the pions produced in the quark-gluon perturbative vacuum of high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions is suggested.
