Identical Meson Interferometry in STAR Experiment
摘要
The influence of Bose-Einstein statistics on multi-particle production characterized for various systems and energies by the STAR collaboration provides interesting information about the space-time dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. We present the centrality and transverse mass dependence measurements of the two-pion interferometry in Au+Au collisions at = 62.4 GeV and Cu+Cu collisions at = 62.4 GeV and 200 GeV. We compare the new data with previous STAR measurements from p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at = 200 GeV. In all systems and centralities, HBT radii decrease with transverse mass in a similar manner, which is qualitatively consistent with collective flow.The scaling of the apparent freeze-out volume with the number of participants and charged particle multiplicity is studied. Measurements of Au+Au collisions at same centralities and different energies yield different freeze-out volumes, which mean that is not a suitable scaling variable. The multiplicity scaling of the measured HBT radii is found to be independent of colliding system and collision energy.
