Pion Interferometry: Recent results from SPS
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent HBT results from the CERES experiment at the SPS are reviewed. Emphasis is put on the centrality and beam energy dependence, and the results are put into perspective with results at lower and higher beam energies. The rather weak beam energy dependence of the HBT radii may be understood in terms of a transition from baryon to pion dominated freeze-out. The observed short lifetimes and emission durations are presently in contradiction to results from model calculations.

Beam Energy and Centrality Dependence of Two-Pion Bose-Einstein Correlations at SPS Energies
Results are presented of a two-pion interferometry (HBT) analysis in Pb+Au collisions at 40, 80, and 158 AGeV. A detailed study of the Bertsch-Pratt HBT radius Preprint submitted to Elsevier Science 8 February 2008 parameters has been performed as function of the mean pair transverse momentum kt and in bins of the centrality of the collision. From these results we extract model dependent inform...
متن کاملRecent results from STAR experiment in Au + Au collisions at √ s
Theoretical models suggest that the Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) phase diagram has a critical point demarcating the order of transition between the two phases: the hadron gas, in which the quarks are confined and the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The central goal of the experiments with relativistic heavy-ion collisions is to create and study such form of matter called the QGP and understand the Q...
متن کاملHbt Interferometry and the Parton-hadron Phase Transition
We discuss predictions for the pion and kaon interferometry measurements in relativistic heavy ion collisions at SPS and RHIC energies. In particular, we confront relativistic transport model calculations that include explicitly a first-order phase transition from a thermalized quarkgluon plasma to a hadron gas with recent data from the RHIC experiments. We critically examine the HBT-puzzle bot...

A method allowing studies the hadronic matter at early stage of the evolution in A+A collisions is developed. It is based on an interferometry analysis of approximately conserved values such as the averaged phase-space density (APSD) and the specific entropy of thermal pions. The plateau founded in the APSD behavior vs collision energy at SPS is associated, apparently, with the deconfinement ph...
