Pion femtoscopy in p + p collisions at √s=200 [square root of s = 200] GeV
The STAR Collaboration at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured two-pion correlation functions from p+p collisions at √s=200 [square root of s = 200] GeV. Spatial scales are extracted via a femtoscopic analysis of the correlations, though this analysis is complicated by the presence o...

Summary: | The STAR Collaboration at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured two-pion correlation functions from p+p collisions at √s=200 [square root of s = 200] GeV. Spatial scales are extracted via a femtoscopic analysis of the correlations, though this analysis is complicated by the presence of strong nonfemtoscopic effects. Our results are put into the context of the world data set of femtoscopy in hadron-hadron collisions. We present the first direct comparison of femtoscopy in p+p and heavy ion collisions, under identical analysis and detector conditions. National Science Foundation (U.S.) United States.
