摘要
The two-particle momentum correlation is influenced by the nuclear force between two particles,which has been intensively studied for nucleons and nuclei,but not much for antinucleons or antinuclei.In this proceeding,we present our STAR measurements on momentum correlation function of antiproton-antiproton and proton-proton in Au+Au collisions at S_(NN)^(1/2)= 200 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.Attractive nuclear force between two antiprotons is demonstrated,and the strong interaction parameters(the scattering length and the effective range) are determined.This measurement serves as an additional verification of CPT symmetry.The present information on the strong force in the antiproton-antiproton system provides a fundamental ingredient towards understanding the structure of more sophisticated antinuclei.
