In this report we give a detailed account on Hanbury Brown/Twiss (HBT) particle interferometric methods for relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These exploit identical two-particle correlations to gain access to the space-time geometry and dynamics of the final freeze-out stage. The connection between the measured correlations in momentum space and the phase-space structure of the particle emitter is established, both with and without final state interactions. Suitable Gaussian parametrizations for the two-particle correlation function are derived and the physical interpretation of their parameters is explained. After reviewing various model studies, we show how a combined analysis of single- and two-particle spectra allows to reconstruct the final state of relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Quantum interference effects enhanced in $\pi^+p$ femtoscopic correlation functions
The π⁺p correlation peak near 140 MeV/c arises from quantum interference of incident and scattered waves, while the Δ decay peaks near 220 MeV/c; their m_T-dependent mix explains the ALICE peak shift.

Proton-proton Femtoscopy as a Probe of Short-range Structure in High-Energy O+O Collisions
In simulated 16O+16O collisions at 200 GeV, proton-proton correlations shift the extracted source radius by about 5 percent when the oxygen input contains short-range nucleon correlations, while pion-pion correlations...

A self-consistent calculation of non-spherical Bose-Einstein correlation functions with Coulomb final-state interaction
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.

Heavy quark polarization anisotropy as a novel probe of fireball geometry
Heavy-flavor polarization harmonics are introduced as observables whose Fourier coefficients are claimed to be proportional to the initial fireball spatial eccentricities.

Particle Correlations in Jets
Subtracting the product of single-particle energy flows from the energy-energy correlator isolates genuine two-particle correlations in jets, as demonstrated with PYTHIA.

Nucleon-nucleon correlation functions from different interactions in comparison
Correlation functions computed with AV18, NV2-IIa, and NV2-IIb interactions differ by at most a few percent, confirming that the Koonin-Pratt observable is largely constrained by the phase shifts the potentials were f...
