Abstract

With increasing beam energies the angular momentum of the fireball in peripheral heavy ion collisions is increasing, and the proposed Differential Hanbury Brown and Twiss analysis is able to estimate this angular momentum quantitatively. The method detects specific space-time correlation patterns, which are connected to rotation.
