R. Ghetti et al., SIMULTANEOUS NEUTRON NEUTRON-PROTON NEUTRON AND PROTON-PROTON INTERFEROMETRY MEASUREMENTS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 335(1-2), 1993, pp. 156-164
This paper describes a technique to perform simultaneous neutron-neutr
on, proton-neutron and proton-proton nuclear interferometry measuremen
ts. Experimental arrangements for intermediate energy heavy ion interf
erometry experiments are presented and their limitations are investiga
ted. The construction of correlation functions, particularly with resp
ect to normalization and background corrections is discussed. Some new
results on correlation functions from the reaction 30 A MeV Ar-40 + C
-12 are shown and possibilities to improve the interferometry techniqu
e are discussed.
