Interferometry of direct photons in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 AGeV
We present final results from the WA98 experiment which provide first measurements of Bose-Einstein correlations of direct photons in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Invariant interferometric radii were extracted in the range $100<K_T<300$ MeV/c and compared to interferometric radii of...

Sumario: | We present final results from the WA98 experiment which provide first measurements of Bose-Einstein correlations of direct photons in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Invariant interferometric radii were extracted in the range $100<K_T<300$ MeV/c and compared to interferometric radii of charged pions. The yield of direct photons for $100<p_T<300$ MeV/c was extracted from the correlation strength parameter and compared to the yield of direct photons measured in WA98 at higher $p_T$ with the statistical subtraction method, and to predictions of a fireball model. |
