Abstract
The ability to measure characteristics of source shapes using non-identical particle correlations is discussed. Both strong-interaction induced and Coulomb induced correlations are shown to provide sensitivity to source shapes. By decomposing correlation functions with spherical or Cartesian harmonics, details of the shapes can be especially well isolated.
