Abstract
Two-particle intensity correlation between the proton () and the Omega-baryon () in high-energy heavy ion collisions is studied to unravel the possible spin-2 dibaryon recently suggested by lattice QCD simulations. The ratio of correlation functions between small and large collision systems, , is proposed to be a new measure to extract the strong interaction without much contamination from the Coulomb attraction. Relevance of this quantity to the experimental observables in heavy-ion collisions is also discussed.
