Abstract
Intensity correlations between hard photons produced in heavy ion coll isions have been measured for E(gamma) greater-than-or-equal-to 25 MeV in the reaction Kr-86 + (nat)Ni at 60A MeV bombarding energy. The obs erved correlation pattern is interpreted in terms of intensity interfe rence. A correlation length of C(sigma) = 16 +/- 4 MeV is found and th e deduced photon source extent is discussed.
