The authors' main claim Based on simple scale arguments we argue that any thermalized fireball evolution scenario which is in agreement with the observed Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) correlation radii at RHIC and reproduces the measured total multiplicity cannot reflect the distribution of matter at or close to a phase transition temperature of ~170 MeV and any scenario which assumes that HBT reflects these properties cannot be reached by a sensible choice of evolution parameters while agreeing with all correlation radii.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

Based on simple scale arguments we argue that any thermalized fireball evolution scenario which is in agreement with the observed Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) correlation radii at RHIC and reproduces the measured total multiplicity cannot reflect the distribution of matter at or close to a phase transition temperature of ~170 MeV and any scenario which assumes that HBT reflects these properties cannot be reached by a sensible choice of evolution parameters while agreeing with all correlation radii. We investigate this question in more detail using a parametrized version of the fireball evolution which has been shown to reproduce particle spectra and HBT for a separate chemical and kinetic freeze-out.

The paper
Original abstract

Based on simple scale arguments we argue that any thermalized fireball evolution scenario which is in agreement with the observed Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) correlation radii at RHIC and reproduces the measured total multiplicity cannot reflect the distribution of matter at or close to a phase transition temperature of ~170 MeV and any scenario which assumes that HBT reflects these properties cannot be reached by a sensible choice of evolution parameters while agreeing with all correlation radii. We investigate this question in more detail using a parametrized version of the fireball evolution which has been shown to reproduce particle spectra and HBT for a separate chemical and kinetic freeze-out.
