Resumo

In pp and pp̄ collisions at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings, a directional dependence of the size of the pion-emitting region is observed using Bose-Einstein interference between identical charged pions. The data reveal a substantially larger dimension in the direction parallel to the beam axis than in the transverse direction, indicating a prolate shape of the emission region. For αα interactions, the data are consistent with a spherical shape.
