Two particle correlations from relativistic nuclear collisions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5959467
Two particle correlations at low relative momentum have been examined using the Plastic Ball detector for the system 400 MeV/nucleon Ca + Ca. The unbound /sup 5/Li ground state yield has been extracted from the p-/sup 4/He correlation and compared with a Chemical Equilibrium model along with the yield of light bound clusters. Source-size radii were measured for both Ca + Ca and Nb + Nb, at 400 MeV/nucleon from p-p correlations. The radii were found to have a cube-root dependence on the proton multiplicity of the event and the deduced thermal freezeout density was found to be about 25% of normal nuclear matter density. 15 references, 8 figures.
