Abstract

We explore the squeezed back-to-back correlation (SBBC) and investigate how the squeezing effect influences the Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) interferometry using an expanding Gaussian source with non-zero width. The SBBC and HBT of D0D^0 and ϕ\phi mesons with finite in-medium widths are studied. The expanding flow of the source may enhance the SBBC strength of D0Dˉ0D^0{\bar D}^0 and ϕϕ\phi\phi in the low momentum region but suppress the SBBC in the larger momentum region. The squeezing effect suppresses the influence of flow on the HBT radii, which is significant for two identical bosons with large pair momentum or with large mass. Due to the squeezing effect, the relationship between the HBT radii and the pair momentum exhibits non-flow behavior for D0D0D^0D^0 pair. Likewise, non-flow behavior also appears in the HBT radii of ϕϕ\phi\phi with large pair momentum. This phenomenon may bring new insights for studying the squeezing effect.
