Title: Exploring Lifetime Effects in Femtoscopy

Journal Article · · Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics
OSTI ID:919600

We investigate the role of lifetime effects from resonances and emission duration tails in femtoscopy at RHIC in two Blast-Wave models. We find the non-Gaussian components compare well with published source imaged data, but the value of R{sub out} obtained from Gaussian fits is not insensitive to the non-Gaussian contributions when realistic acceptance cuts are applied to models.
