Measuring different types of transverse momentum correlations in the biphoton's Fourier plane.
In this Letter, we present a theoretical and experimental study about the spatial correlations of paired photons generated by Type II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. In particular, we show how these correlations can be positive or negative, depending on the direction in which the far-field plane is scanned and the polarization postselected. Our results provide a straightforward way to o...
متن کاملTransverse Momentum Correlations in Production Processes*
A simple method to analyze two-particle correlations of transverse momenta in multiparticle final states is described. A clear physical interpretation of such correlations is presented, and a preliminary analysis of several reactions involving three and four body final states is reported. (Submitted to Phys .

متن کاملIntrinsic Transverse Momentum in Di-hadron Correlations
We study di-hadron correlations in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 200 GeV and interpret experimental data in terms of a fragmentation width and a momentum imbalance. A fragmentation width of 580 ± 50 GeV/c is obtained, and the measured momentum imbalance gives an ‘intrinsic’ transverse momentum width of partons in the proton of 2.6± 0.2 GeV/c. Consequences to heavy ion collisions are discussed.
متن کاملMeasuring dispersion of biphotons
We study the interference pattern of biphotons passing through a dispersive medium, and devise a method for measuring dispersion in coincidence counting of entangled photons. By measuring the Gouy phase shift accompanying dispersion, we show that it fundamentally differs from the Gouy phase expected from classical models. Finally, we show that the second-order correlation function of the disper...
متن کاملMeasuring shear viscosity using transverse momentum correlations in relativistic nuclear collisions.
Elliptic flow measurements at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider suggest that quark-gluon fluid flows with very little viscosity compared to weak-coupling expectations, challenging theorists to explain why this fluid is so nearly "perfect." It is therefore vital to find quantitative experimental information on the viscosity of the fluid. We propose that measureme...
