Systematic Studies Of Binding Energy Dependence Of Neutron-Proton Momentum Correlation Function

Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) results of the neutron-proton correlation function have been systematically investigated for a series of nuclear reactions with light projectiles with the help of the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. The relationship between the binding energy per nucleon of the projectiles and the strength of the neutron-proton HBT at small relative. momentum has been obtained. Results show that neutron-proton HBT results are sensitive to the binding energy per nucleon.
