Central Coulomb Effects on Pion Interferometry
نویسنده
چکیده
Using a simple final-state rescattering model coupled with a simple Coulomb model, the effects of the central Coulomb potential on pion interferometry measurements in 158 GeV/nucleon Pb+Pb collisions are explored. Although the central Coulomb potential does not introduce correlations between pions, it does prevent an accurate measurement of the momentum difference. This momentum difference smearing effect leads to a reduction in the measured correlation radii and lambda parameters. These distortions are important in 158 GeV/nucleon Pb+Pb collisions because of large source sizes and the strong central Coulomb potential.

The corrections for two pion correlations due to electromagnetic final state interactions at high secondary multiplicities are investigated. It is shown that these result in a noticeable deviation from the standard Gamov factor. This conclusion changes drastically in a model of the pion system with expansion. The critical parameter which determines the size of these effects is found to be the r...
