It is shown that, in the presence of correlations in particle emission, the measured HBT radii are related to the correlation range rather than to the size of the interaction volume. Only in the case of weak correlations the standard…

The HBT method is used to get information about the sizes, shapes and sometimes also about the time evolution of the homogeneity regions in hadroproduction processes. Homogeneity region K is the region where the hadrons with momentum K are…

Let us denote p(x|K) the space density of the points where identical particles of some kind, e.g. pi+ mesons, with momentum K are produced. When using the HBT method to determine p(x|K) one encounters ambiguities. We show that these…

The necessary and sufficient condition for a quantity to be measurable by the HBT method is given and discussed.

I review recent progress in the understanding of the connection between the space-time structure of the particle emitting source and the form of the two-particle correlation function in momentum space. Based on a new scheme for calculating…

The inability of otherwise successful dynamical models to reproduce the ``HBT radii'' extracted from two-particle correlations measured at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is known as the ``RHIC HBT Puzzle.'' Most comparisons…

Preliminary results of identical-particle correlations probing the geometric substructure of the particle-emitting source at RHIC are presented. An $m_T$-independent scaling of pion HBT radii from large (central Au+Au) to small (p+p)…

We investigate HBT radii based on the numerical solutions of the hydrodynamical model which are so tuned as to reproduce the recent experimental data at the CERN SPS. Comparing the sizes of freeze-out hypersurface with HBT radii, we discuss…

Two particle correlations are studied in the reaction plane of peripheral relativistic heavy ion reactions where the initial state has substantial angular momentum. The earlier predicted rotation effect and Kelvin Helmholtz Instability,…

In the light of the recent LHC data on proton-proton and lead-lead collisions we examine the question of the multiplicity scaling of HBT radii in relativistic nuclei and particle interactions. Within the UrQMD transport approach we study a…

Two-particle Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) interferometry is an important probe for understanding the space-time structure of particle emission sources in high energy heavy ion collisions. We present the comparative studies of HBT radii in…

Useful relations describing arbitrary parameters of given quantum systems can be derived from simple physical constraints imposed on the vectors in the corresponding Hilbert space. This is well known and it usually proceeds by partitioning…

Hanbury Brown--Twiss interferometry (HBT) provides crucial insights into both the space-time structure and the momentum-space evolution of ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions at freeze-out. In particular, the dependence of the HBT radii on…

I compute the first-order corrections to two-particle Bose-Einstein correlations due to deviations from equilibrium. Based on that result I argue that for nearly perfect fluids, the HBT radii ``freeze out'' much later than the…

Hanbury-Brown--Twiss interferometry is a technique which yields effective widths (i.e., "HBT radii") of homogeneity regions in the fireballs produced in heavy ion collisions. Because the initial conditions of these collisions are…

The Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii have been calculated from the two particle correlation functions with virtual photons produced in the collisions of two nuclei at ultra-relativistic energies. We show that the variation of the HBT radii…

Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) correlation measurements provide valuable information about the phase space distribution of matter in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The rapidity dependence of HBT radii arises from a nontrivial interplay…

One of the few exact results for the description of the time-evolution of an inhomogeneous, interacting many-particle system is given by the Harmonic Potential Theorem (HPT). The relevance of this theorem is that it sets a tight constraint…

The transverse momentum dependence of Hanbury-Brown/Twiss (HBT) interferometry radii for 2-body correlation functions provides experimental access to the collective dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. We present an analytical approximation…

In non-central heavy ion collisions, identical two particle Hanbury-Brown/Twiss (HBT) correlations C(K,q) depend on the azimuthal direction of the pair momentum K. We investigate the consequences for a harmonic analysis of the corresponding…
