A moderate introduction to Hanbury Brown Twiss interferometry in particle physics

Physics Asked on October 29, 2021

For astronomy, as originally invented, the Hanbury Brown Twiss interferometer is good for finding the angular diameter of stars and is not a rapidly fluctuating observable like the amplitude in ordinary interferometry. The same concept in particle physics is not so straightforward. When I measure the 2 particle correlation, what do I get? What does it mean?

One Answer

You can get information about size, shape and rotation of the emitting object.
