Towards the 3D-Imaging of Sources

Abstract

Geometric details of a nuclear reaction zone, at the time of particle emission, can be restored from low relative-velocity particle-correlations, following imaging. Some of the source details get erased and are a potential cause of problems in the imaging, in the form of instabilities. These can be coped with by following the method of discretized optimization for the restored sources. So far it has been possible to produce 1-dimensional emission source images, corresponding to the reactions averaged over all possible spatial directions. Currently, efforts are in progress to restore angular details.
