On the normalization of the HBT correlation function

Nuclear Experiment 2008-02-03 v2

Abstract

We discuss the question of the normalization of the correlation function and its consistency with the often used form C(p1,p2) = 1+|f(p1,p2)|^2. We suggest an event mixing method which allows one to obtain absolutely normalized correlation functions from experimental data.
