Title: Hanbury–Brown–Twiss measurements at large rapidity separations, or can we measure the proton radius in p-A collisions?

Abstract

We point out that current calculations of inclusive two-particle correlations in p-A collisions based on the Color Glass Condensate approach exhibit a contribution from Hanbury–Brown–Twiss correlations. These HBT correlations are quite distinct from the standard ones, in that they are apparent for particles widely separated in rapidity. The transverse size of the emitter which is reflected in these correlations is the gluonic size of the proton. Furthermore, this raises an interesting possibility of measuring the proton size directly by the HBT effect of particle pairs produced in p-A collisions.

Relationship between particle freeze-out distributions and Hanbury Brown-Twiss radius parameters

Journal Article Hardtke, D ; Voloshin, S A ; Department of Physics and Astronomy, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan 48201 - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The relationship between pion and kaon space-time freeze-out distributions and the Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) radius parameters in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions is investigated. We show that the HBT radius parameters in general do not reflect the rms deviations of the single particle production points. Instead, the HBT radius parameters are most closely related to the curvature of the two-particle space-time relative position distribution at the origin. We support our arguments by studies with a dynamical model (RQMD 2.4). (c) 2000 The American Physical Society.

Photon Hanbury-Brown-Twiss interferometry for noncentral heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Frodermann, Evan ; Heinz, Ulrich ; Department of Physics, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Currently, the only known way to obtain experimental information about the space-time structure of a heavy-ion collision is through two-particle momentum correlations. Azimuthally sensitive Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) intensity interferometry can complement elliptic flow measurements by constraining the spatial deformation of the source and its time evolution. Performing these measurements on photons allows us to access the fireball evolution at earlier times than with hadrons. Using ideal hydrodynamics to model the space-time evolution of the collision fireball, we explore theoretically various aspects of two-photon intensity interferometry with transverse momenta up to 2 GeV, in particular the azimuthal angle dependence of the HBTmore »« less

Journal Article Lili, Yu ; Weining, Zhang ; School of Physics and Optoelectronic Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, Liaoning 116024 ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

In the late stage of the evolution of a pion system in high-energy heavy-ion collisions when pions undergo multiple scatterings, the quantum transport of the interfering pair of identical pions plays an important role in determining the characteristics of the Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) interference. We study the quantum transport of the interfering pair using the path-integral method, in which the evolution of the bulk matter is described by relativistic hydrodynamics while the paths of the two interfering pions by test particles following the fluid positions and velocity fields. We investigate in addition the effects of secondary pion sources from particle decays,more »« less

Probing the properties of event-by-event distributions in Hanbury-Brown–Twiss radii

Journal Article Plumberg, Christopher ; Heinz, Ulrich - Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics

Hanbury-Brown–Twiss interferometry is a method which yields effective widths (i.e., “HBT radii”) of homogeneity regions in the fireballs produced in heavy ion collisions. Because the initial conditions of these collisions are stochastically fluctuating, the measured HBT radii also exhibit variation on an event-by-event basis. Yet, HBT measurements have, to date, been performed only on an ensemble-averaged basis, due to inherent limitations of finite particle statistics. Here, we show that experimental measurements to date are best characterized theoretically as weighted averages of the event-by-event HBT radii, and we propose a new method for extracting experimentally both the arithmetic mean and themore »« less
