  2. Outline • HBT in Heavy-Ion Collisions at RHIC • Multiplicity as universal scaling • R(mT) - direct probe of flow scenario • Femtoscopy in p+p [reminder] • mT scaling of HBT radii (AA/pp) [reminder] • Energy and Momentum Conservation Induced Correlations in p+p • STAR results from p+p (all fits) • world systematics : Rinv(N,mT), Ro,s,l(mT) • How different is pp from AA at the end?

  3. Heavy ions at RHIC Multidimensional analysis at RHICR(√SNN, mT, b, Npart, A, B, PID) ... but is there a scaling variable? Z. Ch. for STAR - WWND 2009, Big Sky, MT, Feb. 1-8, 2009

  5. mT dependence of pion HBT radii • Flow is the most important bulk feature at RHIC • mT-dependence of femtoscopy probes flow the most directly • quantitative agreement w/p-only observables Z. Ch. for STAR - WWND 2009, Big Sky, MT, Feb. 1-8, 2009

  26. R(N) - world systematics STAR preliminary • R(N,<mT>) • no point to compare the magnitude of the HBT radii between experiments since almost each experiment has different <pT>; e.g. <pT>(E735) > <pT>(STAR) • look for trends, instead! Z. Ch. for STAR - WWND 2009, Big Sky, MT, Feb. 1-8, 2009

  29. EMCICs seen in small systems Femtoscopy similar in p+p as in Au+Au @ STAR “World results” show both pT and N dependence! Same physics in p+p as in Au+Au and the only difference due to phase-space effects? possibilities: HBT signals are insensitive to underlying physics (flow etc) they are sensitive & the very different physics of A+A and p+p look coincidentally identical they are sensitive, and driving physics is the same Summary Z.
