Abstract

Two-particle rapidity correlations are studied in dC, αC and CC interactions at 4.2 GeV/c per nucleon using 2 m propane bubble chamber. The influence of collision centrality on the short-range correlation strength is also analyzed. Comparison with the Dubna intranuclear cascade model indicates that the independent nucleon-nucleon collisions may account for the observed correlations.
