Using the approach suggested by Hanbury-Brown and Twiss (HBT), we have studied<br />
the experimental data from 12 C+ 12 C collisions at 4.2A GeV/c. These data are obtained<br />
with the 2-m propane bubble chamber <strong>of</strong> LHE, <strong>JINR</strong>. The high accuracy <strong>of</strong> the data<br />
provides a reliable basis <strong>for</strong> the analysis <strong>of</strong> the momentum distribution <strong>of</strong> the secondary<br />
particles produced in this reaction. The HBT analysis indicates on the presence <strong>of</strong> quantum<br />
correlations <strong>for</strong> the secondary particles at low relative momenta ∼ 200MeV/c. In<br />
contrast, the two-particle momentum correlation functions obtained with the same data<br />
do not manifest any correlations in this region. The obtained results are compared with<br />
the predictions <strong>of</strong> the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (UrQMD).<br />
It appears that the UrQMD predictions disagree with the results <strong>of</strong> the HBT analysis<br />
which may indicate on the limitation <strong>of</strong> the UrQMD at this region.<br />
