Y (side) X (out) if x-t correlation is absent & x～y STAR PHENIX DNP, APS 2003 Fall Meeting / Chia-Ming, Kuo Motivation Prediction :First order phase transition leads to a prolonged hadronization timeExpectation :Large HBT radii PHENIX and STAR results showthat Rout/Rside ~ 1 at 130 GeV “ The HBT Puzzle “

  5. DNP, APS 2003 Fall Meeting / Chia-Ming, Kuo Spectrometer & Tracking  Reversible 2T magnetic field Two symmetric spectrometer arms Tracking within 10 cm of interaction point – providing a small two-particle inefficiency (~ 25x50 mrad in θ and ψ space)  Phi acceptance of 3% each arm Ghost tracks ~ 0.3% p/p is better than 1.5% for p<0.7GeV

  7. DNP, APS 2003 Fall Meeting / Chia-Ming, Kuo Coulomb Correction “E866” Approximate Coulomb Correction (PRC 66, 54906 (2002)) Full-Wave Coulomb Correction “Partial” Coulomb Correction Coulomb Correction Coulomb Correction Gamowλ = 1 Rinv = 5 fm λ = 0.5 Rinv = 5 fmλ = 0.1 Rinv = 5 fm Gamowλ = 1 Rinv = 5 fm λ = 1 Rinv = 10 fm Qinv (GeV/c) Qinv (GeV/c)

  8. PHOBOS 200 GeV preliminary DNP, APS 2003 Fall Meeting / Chia-Ming, Kuo Data Sample  Cut off the area that two-particle acceptance < 95 % Apply “Partial” Coulomb (λ≠1) correction to mixed pairs

DNP, APS 2003 Fall Meeting / Chia-Ming, Kuo HBT Results 0.2<y<1.5 Phobos preliminary 200 GeV Au-Au 0.15<kT<0.35 15 % most central events  Rout Rside Rlong R2out-long - - 0.540.02 5.80.2 5.10.4 6.80.3 4.91.7 ++ 0.570.03 5.80.2 4.90.4 7.30.3 4.51.9 Systematic error on radii of 1 fm, on  of 0.06

  11. Conclusions • Using RHIC 2001 run data (Au+Au @ 200 GeV) to analyze HBT correlations •  HBT radii are similar to RHIC 130 GeV results The HBT puzzle still goes on ….. More Kt bins will come Systematic studies are underway DNP, APS 2003 Fall Meeting / Chia-Ming, Kuo
