... as a function of Y and kt ; • Y: pair rapidity • kT : pair transverse momentum
fit the correlation functions to the Yano-Koonin-Podgoretsky (YK) parameterization (see e.g.S. Chapman, J.R. Nix and U. Heinz, Phys. Rev. C52 (1995) 2694) v is the source velocity as measured in the observation frame Riare source parameters as measured in the source rest frame (R0 measures the duration of particle emission) space-momentum correlations fit parameters depend on Y and kt
If the production volume (source element) moves relative to the observation frame with velocity v along the event axis, then after the Lorentz transformation qlg(ql-vq0) q0g(q0-vql) the correlation function can be written in the form YK where the qi are measured in the observation frame, while Ri measure the source in the rest frame of the production volume. Study YYK = ½ ln[(1+v)/(1-v)] as a function of Y static source: weak position-momentum correlations if strong position-momentum correlations are present, then YYK YYK Y Y

Summary • The puzzle of negative R02 looks to have been solved; however, it seems difficult to get a value of the emission duration from YK fits. • Clean dependence of v on Y; Yano-Koonin rapidity scales approximately with pair rapidity. • There is some indication of a decrease of Rt and of Rl with increasing kt and at larger Y, even if systematics due to the fit choice are large. • Is this of some interest to the h.i. community ?
