Continuous emission versus freeze-out via Hanbury Brown–Twiss
Continuous emission versus freeze-out via Hanbury Brown–Twiss
The effect of the continuous emission hypothesis on the two-pion Bose-Einstein correlation function is discussed and compared with the corresponding results based on the usual freeze-out. Sizable differences in the correlation function appear in these different descriptions of the decoupling process. This means that, when extracting properties of the hot …
