Abstract

The difference between intensity interferometry and measurements of two-particle momentum correlations in heavy-ion collisions is discussed. These approaches are generally used to estimate the time-space scale of fireballs produced in heavy-ion collisions. It is inferred that the C(q_inv) function will increase with the decrease of q_inv for both bosons and fermions, if q_inv does not approach zero.
