Predictions for two-pion correlations for sqrt(s)=14 TeV
proton-proton collisions (see nucl-th/0612098)
Tom Humanic (OSU)
A simple model based on relativistic geometry and final-state
hadronic rescattering is used to predict pion source parameters
extracted in two-pion correlation studies of proton-proton collisions at
sqrt{s}=14 TeV. By comparing the results of these model studies with
data, it might be possible to obtain information on the hadronization
time in these collisions. As a test of this model, comparisons between
existing two-pion correlation data at sqrt{s}= 1.8 TeV and results from
the model are made. It is found at this lower energy that using a short
hadronization time in the model best describes the trends of the data.
