Absorption Correlation in Pion Interferometry Analyses
- Received Date: 1993-05-31
Abstract: The effect of absorption on the analyzed results of pion interferometry is studied. The removal of this effect is investigated using a VUU simulation. Data for collisions of 1.8 A GeV Ar+Pb at the Bevalac streamer chamber are analyzed. The spatial parameter of the source extracted from pion interferometry is less than the true value due to the absorption correlation. The effect of the absorption correlation can be eliminated by properly constructing the background.
