Interesting and inspiring new directions are also highlighted, including for example source imaging, lepton and photon interferometry, non-Gaussian shape analysis as well as many other new directions. Existing models are compared to two-particle correlation measurements and the so-called RHIC HBT puzzle is resolved. Evidence for a (directional) Hubble flow is presented and the conclusion is confirmed by a successful description of the pseudorapidity dependence of the elliptic flow as measured in Au+Au collisions by the PHOBOS Collaboration.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-05-09T17:10:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high energy heavy ion collisions", "bose-einstein correlations", "rhic hbt puzzle", "two-particle correlation measurements", "high energy nuclear" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1742-6596/50/1/031", "journal": "Journal of Physics Conference Series", "year": 2006, "month": "Nov", "volume": 50, "number": 1, "pages": 259 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 682114, "adsabs": "2006JPhCS..50..259C" } } }
