Abstract
The technique of intensity interferometry has been applied to the pairs of high-energy photons coming from the 36Ar + 27Al reaction at 95 MeV/nucleon. For the first time, the experimental correlation distributions C(q rel ) and C(q 0), as functions of the relative momentum and energy of the two detected photons, have been separately analyzed in order to extract both the spatial size and lifetime of the emitting source. The found values are in agreement with dynamical approaches based on the bremsstrahlung radiation picture from first-chance proton-neutron collisions.
