~~Geometry and Dynamics in Heavy-ion Collisions Seen by the Femtoscopy Method in the STAR experiment
ORAL
Abstract
~~Geometry and dynamics of the particle-emitting source in heavy-ion collisions can be inferred via the femtoscopy method. Two-particle correlations at small relative momentum exploit Quantum Statistics (QS) and the Final State Interactions (FSI), which allow one to study the space-time characteristics of the source of the order of fm and 10 to the power of -23 s. The RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) program covers a significant part of the QCD Phase Diagram using Au nuclei collisions for several beam energies from 7.7 to 200 GeV, where the baryon-rich region is studied via femtoscopy. Baryon measurements, together with meson ones, provide complementary information about source characteristics. In this talk, results on femtoscopic measurements of various particle combinations for different collision energies and centralities will be shown. The results of non-identical particles enable studies of space-time asymmetries in the emission process. Besides, femtoscopy enables the investigation of FSI between hadrons.
