The intensity correlation experiment using visible light performed by Hanbury Brown & Twiss [ Nature ( London ) (1956), 177 , 27–29] is extended to X‐ray wavelengths. Correlations of 14.4 keV X‐ray photons from a synchrotron radiation source are observed by the coincidence counting technique. The high brilliance of synchrotron radiation available in the Tristan main ring enables the observation of two‐photon correlations with a reasonable measurement time.
