The title and abstract for the paper | are enclosed. | | Sincerely, | | Tim | | | Three-Pion HBT Correlations in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions | from the STAR Experiment | | Data from the first physics run at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider | at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Au+Au collisions at roots_NN = | 130 GeV, have been analyzed by the STAR Collaboration using | three-pion correlations with charged pions to study whether pions | are emitted independently at freezeout. We have made a high statistics | measurement of the three-pion correlation function and calculated | the normalized three-particle correlator to obtain a quantitative | measurement of the degree of chaoticity of the pion source. It is | found that the degree of chaoticity seem to increase with | increasing particle multiplicity.
