Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometry with twisted light.

Detection of Single Photon Emission by Hanbury-Brown Twiss Interferometry

We prepare a solution of nano-diamond particles on a glass microscope slide with a target concentration of 1 × 10 M. Using a confocal microscope, we observe photons emitted from the particles via excitation from a pulsed 532 nm solid state laser at 840 μW. A Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometer is used to probe these photons for evidence of antibunching. At this time, we did not observe antib...

INTRODGTION TO INTENSITY INTERFEROMETRY FOR NUCLEAR - PARTICLE PHYSICISTS ' Alan Katz

The Hanbury-Brown and Twiss method for measuring the radii of stars also has interesting applications in other realms of physics. Intensity interferometry, the technique used by Hanbury-Brown and Twiss for their star measurements, should yield analogous information about the angular .-sizes of excited particles and nuclei, which emit secondary particles. In this report, we interpret such emissi...

Resolving microstructures in Z pinches with intensity interferometry

Nearly 60 years ago, Hanbury Brown and Twiss [R. Hanbury Brown and R. Q. Twiss, Nature 178, 1046 (1956)] succeeded in measuring the 30 nrad angular diameter of Sirius using a new type of interferometry that exploited the interference of photons independently emitted from different regions of the stellar disk. Its basis was the measurement of intensity correlations as a function of detector spac...

Single-event Handbury-brown-twiss Interferometry

Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Large spatial density fluctuations in high-energy heavy-ion collisions can come from many sources: initial transverse density fluctuations, non-central collisions, phase transitions , surface tension, and fragmentations. The common presence of some of these sources in high-energy heavy-ion collisions suggests that large scale density fluctuations ...
