Imaging of Sources in Heavy-Ion Reactions

Abstract

Imaging of sources from data within the intensity interferometry is discussed. In the two-pion case, the relative pion source function may be determined through the Fourier transformation of the correlation function. In the proton-proton case, the discretized source function may be fitted to the correlation data.
