Emission source functions are extracted from correlation functions constructed from charged pions produced at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV. The source parameters extracted from these functions at low k_T, give first indications of a long tail for the pion emission source. The source extension cannot be explained solely by simple kinematic considerations. The possible role of a halo of secondary pions from resonance emissions is explored.

Pion emission source shape in UrQMD Au+Au collisions at STAR energies
nucl-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

UrQMD simulations show pion source radii increasing with collision energy and decreasing with transverse mass, with the Levy index alpha falling at higher energies.
