An atomic-physics researcher whose joint study used excited helium atoms to detect the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect. Measuring pair arrivals converts otherwise invisible many-particle interference into a statistical pattern, linking detection probabilities with the distinction between Bose-Einstein statistics and Fermi-Dirac statistics.[ref]
Comparison of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect for bosons and fermions by T. Jeltes and others. Abstract and pp. 2–4: metastable-atom detection and exchange interference
