Angular correlations of electron-positron pairs produced in heavy-ion collisions

  • Published:

Abstract

We investigate the strength of angular correlations between coincident electron-positron pairs produced in Pb + Pb collisions at 5.7 MeV/u. The angular correlations are predicted to be observable at electron energies above 200 keV, almost independent of positron energy.
