HBT shape analysis with q-cumulants
2006
Taking up and extending earlier suggestions, we show how two- and threedimensional shapes of second-order HBT correlations can be described in a multivariate Edgeworth expansion around gaussian ellipsoids, with expansion coefficients, identified as the cumulants of pair momentum difference q, acting as shape parameters. Off-diagonal terms dominate both the character and magnitude of shapes. Cumulants can be measured directly and so the shape analysis has no need for fitting.
