Abstract

Energy dependence of space-time parameters of pion emission region at freeze-out is studied for collisions of various ions and for all experimentally available energies. The using of femtoscopic radii scaled on the averaged radius of colliding ions is suggested. This approach allows the expansion of the set of interaction types, in particular, on collisions of non-symmetrical ion beams which can be studied within the framework of common treatment. There is no sharp changing of femtoscopic parameter values with increasing of initial energy. Analytic functions suggested for smooth approximations of energy dependence of femtoscopic parameters demonstrate reasonable agreement with most of experimental data at sNN5\sqrt{s_{NN}} \geq 5 GeV. Estimations of some observables are obtained for energies of the LHC and FCC project.
