Abstract

We investigate the two-pion interferometry in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions in the granular source model of quark-gluon plasma droplets. The pion transverse momentum spectra and HBT radii of the granular sources agree well with the experimental data of the sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV Au-Au and sNN=2.76\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb most central collisions. In the granular source model the larger initial system breakup time may lead to the larger HBT radii RoutR_{\rm out}, RsideR_{\rm side}, and RlongR_{\rm long}. However, the large droplet transverse expansion and limited average relative emitting time of particles in the granular source lead to small ratios of the transverse HBT radii Rout/RsideR_{\rm out}/R_{\rm side}.
