Abstract

Peripheral heavy ion reactions at ultra relativistic energies have large angular momentum that can be studied via two particle correlations using the Differential Hanbury Brown and Twiss method. In the present work we analyze the possibilities and sensitivity of the method in rotating, few source systems. Analytic results provide insight in the advantages of this method.
