Two- and Three-Pion Interferometry for a Nonchaotic Source in Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twoand three-pion correlation functions are investigated for a source that is not fully chaotic. Various models are examined to describe the source. The chaoticity and weight factor are evaluated in each model as measures of the strength of correlations and compared to experimental results. A new measure of three-pion correlation is also suggested. PACS number(s): 25.75.Gz Typeset using REVTEX 1

Three-pion Interferometry of Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
Three-pion interferometry is investigated for new information on the spacetime structure of the pion source created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The twoand three-pion correlations are numerically computed for incoherent source functions based on the Bjorken hydrodynamical model, over a wide range of the kinematic variables. New information provided by threepion interferometry, di...
متن کاملIntermittent, Domain-Structured Coherence in the Pion Interferometry of Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
We investigate a domain-structured source in the pion interferometry of relativistic nuclear collisions. The source emits coherent pions intermittently with the background of chaotic pions. The coherent pions examined are either of a general nature or of disoriented chiral condensate. Twoand three-pion correlations for the source are shown to agree well with the recent NA44 experimental data. P...
متن کاملObserving compact quark matter droplets in relativistic nuclear collisions
Compactness is introduced as a new method to search for the onset of the quark matter transition in relativistic heavy ion collisions. That transition supposedly leads to stronger compression and higher compactness of the source in coordinate space. That effect could be observed via pion interferometry. We propose to measure the compactness of the source in the appropriate principal axis frame ...
متن کاملSmall size boundary effects on two-pion interferometry
The Bose-Einstein correlations of two identically charged pions are derived when these particles, the most abundantly produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions, are confined in finite volumes. Boundary effects on single pion spectrum are also studied. Numerical results emphasize that conventional formulation usually adopted to describe two-pion interferometry should not be used when the sou...
متن کاملDynamics of Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Nuclear Collisions
Measurements of disoriented chiral condensates in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC can yield fundamental information on the nature of the QCD phase transition. I review theoretical efforts to understand the evolution of the condensate and present new results on experimental signals in the single pion spectrum and in pion interferometry. Invited talk at the Third International Workshop o...
