Intensity interferometry for fermions

  • 1. I. V. Kurchatov Atomic Energy Institute (USSR)

Description

The authors consider the interference pattern (as a function of separation) that arises when fermions from two independent sources are recorded by two detectors; this is the analog of the Brown-Twiss effect for photons. The authors show that it is possible, under certain circumstances, to measure the angular dimensions of the sources emitting the fermions (which may be neutrinos, neutrons, electrons, etc.)
