Abstract
Two-particle interferometry of positive kaons is studied in Pb + Pb collisions at mean transverse momenta and 0.91 GeV/c. A three-dimensional analysis was applied to the lower data, while a two-dimensional analysis was used for the higher data. We find that the source size parameters are consistent with the scaling curve observed in pion correlation measurements in the same collisions, and that the duration time of kaon emission is consistent with zero within the experimental sensitivity.
