Abstract

Proton-proton correlations were measured in $^{16}\mathrm{O}$-induced reactions on $^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ at 400 MeV. Measurements at both small and large proton relative momenta indicate that a significant fraction of the correlated protons are emitted from a spatially localized region of high excitation.
