Abstract

Two-proton correlation functions for central collisions of 36Ar+45Sc at E/A=80, 120, and 160 MeV are compared to calculations with the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) transport model. Agreement is found at E/A=80 MeV, but the model predicts too large correlations at E/A=120 and 160 MeV. The discrepancy may be due to delayed emission of protons from particle-unstable states not modeled in BUU.
