Baryon-Baryon correlations at small relative momentum in Neon- and Argon-nucleus collisions betweenE/A=200 and 1000 MeV

Abstract

Two-proton correlation functions at small relative momentum have been systematically studied with the large solid angle detector DIOGENE at Saturne for interactions induced by Ne and Ar beams on various targets, and incident energies per nucleon ranging from 200 to 1000 MeV. From these distributions, informations on the space-time structure of the source have been derived as a function of the centrality of the collision, the target-projectile combinations and the incident energy, using the model of Koonin. Special attention has been devoted to take into account all experimental biases in order to get the distorted theoretical correlation curves before comparison to the experimental data. Other interesting conclusions have been obtained when comparing the extracted source radii to the dimensions of the overlapping volume of target by projectile in a pure geometrical model of the collision (clean cut geometry). Some results concerning fragment-fragment small angle correlations are also presented.
