Identical pion intensity interferometry in central Au + Au collisions at 1.23A GeV

Abstract: We investigate identical pion HBT intensity interferometry in central Au + Au collisions at 1.23 A GeV. High-statistics π − π − and π + π + data are measured with HADES at SIS18/GSI. The radius parameters, derived from the correlation function depending on relative momenta in the longitudinally comoving system and parametrized as three-dimensional Gaussian distribution, are studied as function of transverse momentum. A substantial charge-sign difference of the source radii is found, particularly pronounced at low transverse momentum. The extracted source parameters agree well with a smooth extrapolation of the center-of-mass energy dependence established at higher energies, extending the corresponding excitation functions down towards a very low energy.
