DOWNLOAD EBOOKTwo particle correlation measurements for {ital Si-A} and {ital Au- Au} collisions from Brookhaven E859 and E866 are discussed. These measurements allow us, with some interpretation, to deduce the size of the participant region in a heavy ion collision. We show that various source parameterizations yield consistent results and we explore the dependence of the apparent source size on the pion yield.
