Two-proton correlation function: a gentle introduction
Abstract
Description
The recent COSY-11 collaboration measurement of the two-proton correlation function in the pp -> ppeta reaction, reported at this meeting [1], arouse some interest in a simple theoretical description of the correlation function. In these notes we present a pedagogical introduction to the practical methods that can be used for calculating the correlation function.
