Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 3138–3141 (1999)Lambda-Proton Correlations in Relativistic Heavy Ion CollisionsReceived 17 June 1999; published in the issue dated 18 October 1999 The prospect of using Λp correlations to extract source sizes in relativistic heavy ion collisions is investigated. It is found that the strong interaction induces a large peak in the correlation function that provides more sensitive source size measurements than pp correlations under some circumstances. The prospect of using Λp correlations to measure the time lag between lambda and proton emissions is also studied. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
