Size of the proton emission region inp-C,d-C, α-C and C-C interactions at 4.2 GeV/c per incident nucleon from two-proton correlations

Abstract

Correlations between secondary protons with small relative momenta have been studied in interactions of various light nuclei with the carbon target at 4.2 GeV/c per incident nucleon with the aim to determine the radius of the proton emission region. This radius is found to decrease with increasing momentum and transverse momentum of the proton pair, but it does not show any dependence on the mass of the projectile nucleus.
