Can GLAST Function as a Hanbury Brown-Twiss Interferometer?
Abstract:
.. an investigation of the possibility that a modern view of the information content of photon data in general, and the concept of intensity correlation measurements in particular, can yield new science goals for GLAST. If the HBT effect can be applied as it is in particle physics, it may be possible to image the evolution of the expanding fireball of a GRB.
* Introduction to photonic astronomy
* The Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiments
* Quantum theory of intensity correlations
* Particle Physics applications
* Prospects for high-energy astrophysics
