Two-proton correlation functions are measured for inclusive collisions of ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ + ${}_{}{}^{197}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Au}$ at E/A=200 MeV. Calculations with the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport theory overpredict the dependence of the correlation function on the total momentum of the coincident proton pair, but correctly reproduce the energy-integrated correlation function.
