Quantum Opacity, the RHIC HBT Puzzle, and the Chiral Phase Transition

Published 2004-11-08, updated 2004-12-07Version 2

We present a relativistic quantum mechanical treatment of opacity and refractive effects that allows reproduction of observables measured in two-pion (HBT) interferometry and pion spectra at RHIC. The inferred emission duration is substantial. The results are consistent with the emission of pions from a system that has a restored chiral symmetry.

Comments: 4 pages, 2 figures. This version mentions shows the STAR 200 GeV data, and includes some technical improvements. The agreement with experiment is improved slightly, and the parameters of the model are changed slightly
