π Correlations: an Interweaving of Resonance Interaction, Channel Coupling and Coulomb Effects
Abstract
A method is presented for analysis of correlation function of two non-identical particles with strong and Coulomb interactions, resonance formation, channel coupling and spin structure. For resonance reactions we derive a formula giving the small distance contribution to the correlation function. The formalism is used to analyze the preliminary RHIC data on π correlation measurements. The *(1530) resonance is successfully described. The π source size is obtained.
