The pion emission source in Au+Au collisions is tilted with magnitude decreasing rapidly as collision energy rises from 7.7 to 27 GeV, indicating departure from longitudinal boost invariance.

abstract
We present a systematic analysis of two-pion interferometry in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV using the STAR detector at RHIC. We extract the HBT radii and study their multiplicity, transverse momentum, and azimuthal angle dependence. The Gaussianess of the correlation function is studied. Estimates of the geometrical and dynamical structure of the freeze-out source are extracted by fits with blast wave parameterizations. The expansion of the source and its relation with the initial energy density distribution is studied.

The authors generalize their prior spherical-source method to non-spherical sources with a self-consistent treatment of Coulomb interactions and provide software for three-dimensional correlation functions.
Proton emitting source size is amplified by 24% in neutron-rich versus neutron-deficient tin collisions, revealing a beyond-mean-field short-range n-p correlation effect.
