HBT with Space- vs. Time-like Hydrodynamic Freezeout

Abstract

Bose-Einstein correlations in relativistic heavy ion collisions and their dependence on the freeze-out condition in hydrodynamic models is compared to time-like freeze-out, where particles are emitted away only from the surface, i.e. space- vs. time-like freeze-out. The corresponding HBT radii are calculated for the two models emphasizing the difference in the outward HBT radius.
