Shapes and Sizes from Non-Identical-Particle Correlations

Abstract

I review the prospects for measuring source characteristics from correlations other than those involving identical pions. Correlations generated from Coulomb and strong interactions are shown to provide remarkable resolving power for determining three-dimensional information, in some cases accessing more detail than can be represented by Gaussian fits.
