Hanbury Brown-Twiss correlation of $\phi\phi$ with in-medium mass modification
Abstract
We study the impacts of the squeezing effect caused by in-medium mass modification on the Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) correlation of using a hydrodynamical source. The squeezing effect reduces the influence of transverse flow on the transverse distribution of emitting source while expanding the longitudinal source distribution. This trend becomes more noticeable as the transverse momentum increases, resulting in an enlargement of the HBT radii for . Notably, this enlargement is particularly evident with higher transverse pair momentum. As a result, the HBT radii of increase as transverse pair momentum increases instead of showing a consistent crease, showcasing non-flow behavior of HBT radii in hydrodynamical sources. Both Gaussian fitting and Levy fitting support the conclusion.
