An extended pion source, which can be temporarily created by a high energy
nuclear collision, will also absorb and distort the outgoing pions. We discuss
how this effect alters the interferometric pattern of the two-pion momentum
correlation function. In particular, we show that the two-pion correlation
function decreases rapidly when the opening angle between the pions increases.
The opening-angle dependence should serve as a new means of obtaining
information about the pion source in the analysis of experimental data.Comment: 14 pages (revtex) and 9 figures (uuencoded), Caltech preprint
