N2 - Correlations between protons emitted with nearly equal momenta are shown to be sensitive to the space-time structure of high-energy heavy-ion collisions. A quantal estimate indicates that final-state interactions and the exclusion principle result in a rich, experimentally accessible correlation structure for relative-photon-proton momenta {less-than or approximate}50 MeV/c which can be used to determine the size, velocity, and lifetime of the collision volume.
