Abstract

We demonstrate that emission of bosons from a dispersed collection of droplets will produce a two-tiered correlation function reflecting the size of the droplets as well as their spatial distribution. We argue that this two-tiered correlation can signal the existence of a mixed phase of QCD plasma and hadronic gas in relativistic nuclear collisions, and propose that positive kaons will be the best indicators of this structure.
