Abstract
The NA35 experiment has collected a high statistics set of momentum analyzed negative hadrons near and forward of midrapidity for central collisions of 200AGeV/c S32+S, Cu, Ag, and Au. Using momentum space correlations to study the size of the source of particle production, the transverse source radii are found to decrease by 40% at midrapidity and 20% at forward rapidity while the longitudinal radius RL is found to decrease by 50% as pT increases over the interval 50<pT<600MeV/c. Calculations using a microscopic phase space approach (relativistic quantum molecular dynamics) reproduce the observed trends of the data.
