Abstract

The perturbation of azimuthal \ensuremath{\alpha}-\ensuremath{\alpha} correlations by many-body Coulomb interactions with other emitted particles is investigated. Individual emissions are simulated by modeling instantaneous emission from the surface of a hot rotating gas. Upon emission, the particle trajectories are calculated by means of classical calculations which incorporate the many-body Coulomb interaction between the emitted particles and the emitting source. For high-multiplicity events, the initial azimuthal correlation between emitted \ensuremath{\alpha} particles can be attenuated by final-state Coulomb interactions. The effect is most pronounced for \ensuremath{\alpha} particles emitted close to the barrier, but it appears of minor importance for \ensuremath{\alpha} particles emitted at large relative angles and at energies well above the Coulomb barrier. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
