Observation of lifetime effects in two-proton correlations for well-characterized sources. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Differences between longitudinal and transverse two-proton correlation functions, consistent with finite lifetime effects, are observed for central Ar36+45Sc collisions at E/A=80 MeV. The correlations between two protons emitted with low total momenta are consistent with emission from a source of Gaussian radius r04.70.3 fm and characteristic lifetime 2515 fm/c. 1993 The American Physical Society.
