Pion Interferometry From A Relativistic Fluid With A First Order Phase Transition In CERN-SPS 158 GeV/A Pb+Pb Collisions
read the original abstract
We investigate pion source sizes through the Yano-Koonin-Podgoretski\u{\i} (YKP) parametrization for the Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) effect in the CERN-SPS 158 GeV/A central collisions. We calculate two-particle correlation functions numerically based on a (3+1)-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamics with a first order phase transition and analyze the pair momentum dependence of the HBT radii extracted from the YKP parametrization in detail. We find that even in the case of a first order phase transition, expansion and the surface dominant freeze-out make the source in the hydrodynamical model opaque significantly. Consequently, the interpretation of the temporal radius parameter as the time duration becomes unavailable for the hydrodynamical model.
