Abstract
We describe a technique whereby the freeze-out interaction volumes of nucleus-nucleus collisions are extracted from a cascade (plus coalesce nce) model, after comparison to measured abundances of light nuclei. W e conclude that the interaction volume undergoes significant expansion before light nuclei are produced.
