Wq. Chao et al., PION-INTERFEROMETRY ANALYSIS IN RELATIVISTIC HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS BASED ON THE VENUS MODEL, Nuclear physics. A, 573(4), 1994, pp. 641-652
The source size in relativistic heavy-ion collisions obtained by pion-
interferometry analyses based on the VENUS model is compared with the
actual source size of the model and experimental measurements. The pre
dicted transverse source size is larger than the size of the projectil
e nuclei, but smaller than the preliminary findings from a recent expe
riment in the central rapidity region. The effect of rescattering on t
he source size is also discussed.
