Description
Light nuclei are abundantly produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We derive a formula of the femtoscopic correlation function of the lightest nuclei, which include protons, deuterons, tritons, helium 3. As the correlations are generated simultaneously with the bound state formation, the source function of a given light nucleus, which enters the correlation function, non-trivially depends on its mass number. This fact allows one to distinguish various production mechanisms of the nuclei. The correlation functions also carry information on production unstable nuclei like lithium 4.
