V. Kumar et al., ON THE COMPRESSION AND MULTIFRAGMENTATION OF NUCLEAR-MATTER AT HIGH-ENERGIES, International journal of modern physics E, 5(1), 1996, pp. 217-226
Two-particle correlations and momentum widths have been studied in cas
e of Kr + Ag(Br) and La + Ag(Br) reactions in order to search for a ph
ysical quantity which corresponds to nuclear compression. Both the two
particle correlation coefficient, B, and momentum width of alphas inc
rease with the incident energy. Hence, they may be used to quantify nu
clear compression or the nuclear density in high energy nuclear collis
ions.
