Small angle proton-proton correlations in collisions of high energy light ions with carbon and gold nuclei

Description

Small angle correlations of protons (p>320 MeV/c) emitted in 5.1 GeV/c proton, 4 GeV/c deuteron and 8 GeV/c helium-4 collisions with carbon and gold targets were measured using plastic scintillator hodoscopes and NaI(Tl) detectors placed at 72deg and 101deg with respect to the beam. It has been found that for both targets the two-proton correlation function depends on the emission angle and that this dependence is stronger for the carbon target than for the gold one. (orig.)
