Freeze-out dynamics via charged kaon femtoscopy insNN=200GeV central Au + Au collisions

Abstract: We present measurements of three-dimensional correlation functions of like-sign, low-transverse-momentum kaon pairs from √ s NN = 200 GeV Au + Au collisions. A Cartesian surface-spherical harmonic decomposition technique was used to extract the kaon source function. The latter was found to have a three-dimensional Gaussian shape and can be adequately reproduced by Therminator event-generator simulations with resonance contributions taken into account. Compared to the pion one, the kaon source function is gener… Show more

“…Previous kaon femtoscopy studies carried out in Pb-Pb collisions at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) by the NA44 and NA49 Collaborations [22,23] reported the decrease of R long with m T as ∼m −0.5 T as a consequence of the boost-invariant longitudinal flow. Subsequent studies carried out in Au-Au collisions at RHIC [24][25][26][27] have shown the same power in the m T dependencies for π and K radii, consistent with a common freeze-out hypersurface. Like in the SPS data, no exact universal m T scaling for the three-dimensional (3D) radii was observed at RHIC, but still these experiments observed an approximate m T scaling for pions and kaons.…”

“…The PHENIX and STAR collaborations have recently started to apply a new "imaging technique" in order to extract a S(r * )-source function, which represents a time-integrated distribution of the particle emission points separation r * in the pair rest frame (PRF) [7]. The large times of emission corresponding to the first order phase transition (Fig.…”

“…It is necessary to mention that α is almost constant for the radii R long , because the radial flow does not affect the longitudinal radii. The drop of R long is mainly caused by the longitudinal flow and the longitudinal direction of the source is satisfied with the boostinvariant in the THERMINATOR model [11,17]. Figure 4 shows the HBT radii from the directly freeze-out pions and the pions with resonance decay for different v T .…”
