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 />
