Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac correlations show that the emitter dimension r decreases as the hadron mass increases. Same behaviour is seen for the longitudinal dimension r_z dependence on the transverse mass m_T. In both cases the…

Femtoscopy has the capacity to probe the space-time geometry of the particle-emitting source in heavy-ion collisions. In particular, femtoscopy of like-sign kaon-pairs may shed light on the origin of non-Gaussianity of the spatial emission…
Non-identical particle femtoscopy measures the size of the system emitting particles ("radius") in heavy-ion collisions as well as the difference between mean emission space-time coordinates of two particle species ("emission asymmetry").…
