Phys. Rev. C 65, 054609 (2002) [5 pages]Imaging sources with fast and slow emission componentsReceived 3 May 2001; published 2 May 2002 We investigate two-proton correlation functions for reactions in which fast dynamical and slow evaporative proton emission are both present. In such cases, the width of the correlation peak provides the most reliable information about the source size of the fast dynamical component. The maximum of the correlation function is sensitive to the relative yields from the slow and fast emission components. Numerically inverting the correlation function allows one to accurately disentangle fast dynamical from slow evaporative emission and extract details of the shape of the two-proton source. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
