Dk. Srivastava et Ji. Kapusta, HISTORY OF QUARK-GLUON PLASMA EVOLUTION FROM PHOTON INTERFEROMETRY, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 48(3), 1993, pp. 1335-1345
Two-photon intensity interferometry is used to probe the dynamics of q
uarks and gluons in a high-energy nucleus-nucleus collision. A (1 + 1)
-dimensional expansion of the plasma according to Bjorken hydrodynamic
s as well as a (3 + 1)-dimensional expansion, both with a first-order
phase transition, are considered. The correlation of high-transverse-m
omentum photons is sensitive to the details of the space-time evolutio
n of the high-density QCD plasma. The so-called ''longitudinal'' and '
'outward'' correlations are found to be dramatically affected by the t
ransverse expansion of the system.
