Abstract

Bose-Einstein correlations in relativistic heavy ion collisions are examined in a general model containing the essential features of hydrodynamical, cascade as well as other models commonly employed for describing the particle freeze-out. In particular the effects of longitudinal and transverse expansion, emission from surfaces moving in time, the thickness of the emitting layer varying from surface to volume emission and other effects are studied. Model dependences of freeze-out sizes and times are discussed and compared to recent Pb+PbPb+Pb data at 160A\cdotGeV.
