  1. The Space-Time Puzzle at RHIC • Instead of slowly burning QGP Log Dt~R/vdef >>R • Evidence for Sudden freezeout Dt << R ! • Amazingly independent of 1< KEcm< 100 AGeV • Yet there is Huge v2~0.15 out to 6 GeV, transverse flow , hadro equilibration, pbar > pi-, …

  14. Dissipative Hadronic FSI distort pion lenses Soff, Bass, Dumitru nucl-th/0012085 • long-lived dissipative hadronic phase dominates correlation signal • dissipative hadronic phase: unavoidable consequence of thermalized QGP IF strong incoherent resonance dynamics applies

  16. The Thorn in Hydro’s side See D. Teany, E. Shuryak

  17. Useful cartoon showing why HBT in AA is not easy to unfold P.Kolb, U. Heinz MANY 8D xm-pn correlated geometries give same HBT radii

  18. P.Kolb, U. Heinz Hydro (x,y,t,K) Correlated Geometries

  19. Rside Rout Rlong Rout<Rside is possible Denes Molnar’s Parton Cascade Diffuse correlated geometries xside xout

  20. Fits are NOT explanations but convenient summary of data

  21. Are Systematic Experimental Errors Under Control? Corrections P.Filip ??

  22. More work on Coulomb correction needed Better to show Uncorrected data and compare to corrected theory ! P.Filip

  23. Systematic Theory HBT Errors p Wigner Wavepacket x See also S. Pratt … Padula,Gavin MG NPB 329 (90) 357 Classical Transport Theory

  24. However, Rlong is tooo longg! Hydrodynamic HBT is surprisingly good agreement with Rout,side ! Given D. Teany, E. Shuryak

  25. New Attemps at sudden hadronization: Non-equilib Polyakov V(L) L(A) But does this really solve Rlong Is short? U.Heinz Is it consistent with small e-b-e fluctuations?

  26. Closing Remarks: (Sorry no time for Event-by-Event fluct) • RHIC HBT has posed a serious thorn in theory side • V2, flow, hadron ratios are consistent with EULER hydro • up to pT~2 GeV, but hydro fails at AGS, SPS • Yet HBT pattern is ~uniform in energy • High pt>2GeV tails reveal jet quenching through • very dense opaque matter • Yet hadronization is of short duration • (only marginally consistent with hydro Rout,side) • Bjorken flow seems dead with short Rlong! • Is Landau resurrecting? • Are we on wrong hydro/transport track? • Non-equilib classical fields? Inhomogeneous turbulence? • Also need to go back to basics and review HBT assumptions
