Abstract
The detailed structure of the hard-photon source created in intermedia te-energy heavy-ion reactions is deduced from the analysis of intensit y interference measurements. In analogy with the pattern observed in t wo-slit experiments at visible wavelengths and the correlation functio n measured for binary stars in astronomy, we find that the data favour the scenario where two nuclear fragments radiate simultaneously durin g the recompression of the system.
