Particle correlation functions from central 129Xe+197Au collisions at 50A MeV have been measured with a large area silicon‐strip∕CsI detector array. A new technique of spin determination from particle correlation functions is proposed. Two examples of correlation functions are studied. The spin of the first excited level of 8B at 0.774 MeV is determined as J=1.
