Phys. Rev. C 72, 054902 (2005) [11 pages]Imaging three dimensional two-particle correlations for heavy-ion reaction studiesReceived 6 July 2005; published 22 November 2005 We report an extension of the source imaging method for analyzing three-dimensional sources from three-dimensional correlations. Our technique consists of expanding the correlation data and the underlying source function in spherical harmonics and inverting the resulting system of one-dimensional integral equations. With this strategy, we can image the source function quickly, even with the finely binned data sets common in three-dimensional analyses. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
