Effect of pion versus kaon interferometry on the chaotic parameter

In this paper, the advantages of pion versus kaon interferometry as a measure to probe the degree of source coherence are studied by a expanding boson gas model with a harmonic oscillator potential. We investigate the conditions about occurrence of Bose–Einstein condensation and analyze its impacts on the chaotic parameter λ. The results indicate that this finite condensation for pion system decreases the value of λ, but influence slightly for kaon system.

Femtoscopic and Nonfemtoscopic Two-Particle Correlations inA+Aandp+pCollisions at RHIC and LHC Energies

The theoretical review of the last femtoscopy results for the systems created in ultrarelativisticA+A,p+p, andp+Pbcollisions is presented. The basic model, allowing to describe the interferometry data at SPS, RHIC, and LHC, is the hydrokinetic model. The model allows one to avoid the principal problem of the particlization of the medium at nonspace-like sites of transition hypersurfaces and switch to hadronic cascade at a space-like hypersurface with nonequilibrated particle input. The results for pion and kaon interferometry scales inPb+PbandAu+Aucollisions at LHC and RHIC are presented for different centralities. The new theoretical results as for the femtoscopy of small sources with sizes of 1-2 fm or less are discussed. The uncertainty principle destroys the standard approach of completely chaotic sources: the emitters in such sources cannot radiate independently and incoherently. As a result, the observed femtoscopy scales are reduced, and the Bose-Einstein correlation function is suppressed. The results are applied for the femtoscopy analysis ofp+pcollisions ats=7 TeV LHC energy andp+Pbones ats=5.02 TeV. The behavior of the corresponding interferometry volumes on multiplicity is compared with what is happening for centralA+Acollisions. In addition the nonfemtoscopic two-pion correlations in proton-proton collisions at the LHC energies are considered, and a simple model that takes into account correlations induced by the conservation laws and minijets is analyzed.
