Bose-Einstein correlations for Levy stable source distributions
read the original abstract
The peak of the two-particle Bose-Einstein correlation functions has a very interesting structure. It is often believed to have a multivariate Gaussian form. We show here that for the class of stable distributions, characterized by the index of stability $0 < \alpha \le 2$, the peak has a stretched exponential shape. The Gaussian form corresponds then to the special case of $\alpha = 2$. We give examples for the Bose-Einstein correlation functions for univariate as well as multivariate stable distributions, and check the model against two-particle correlation data.

Tilted geometry of the pion emission source in Au+Au collisions in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan
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.

When positive and negative pairs differ in femtoscopy: residual Coulomb and isospin effects
Residual Coulomb and isospin effects produce charge-dependent splittings in identical-particle correlation functions, strongest at low kT, that modify fitted radii.
