Two-Photon Correlations in $pp$ Collisions

Abstract

It is well understood that the studies of correlations between produced particles, the effects of coherence and chaoticity, an estimation of particle emitting source size play an important role in high energy physics [1]. First of all, we mean the investigation of the space-time extension or even squeezing of particle sources via the multiparticle quantum-statistics correlation. We consider the two-photon correlation function that can provide the space-time information about the Higgs-boson source in thermal environment and estimate the Higgs-boson mass for the first time.
