Abstract

We calculate two-pion correlation functions at finite rapidities based on a hydrodynamical model which does not assume explicit boost invariance along the collision axis. Extracting the HBT radii through χ2\chi^2 fits in both Cartesian and Yano-Koonin-Podgoretski\u{\i} parametrizations, we compare them with the experimental results obtained by the PHOBOS. Based on the results, we discuss longitudinal expansion dynamics.
