Are back-to-back particle--antiparticle correlations observable in high energy nuclear collisions?

Abstract

Analytical formulae are presented which provide quantitative estimates for the suppression of the anticipated back-to-back particle--antiparticle correlations in high energy nuclear collisions due to the finite duration of the transition dynamics. They show that it is unlikely to observ the effect.
