Introductionbull HBT the femtoscopic observables

HBT puzzle

Experiment RoRs=1Ideal hydro RoRs=15

Motivationbull Ideal hydrodynamics gives a good qualitative

description of soft observables in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC

bull But it is unable to quantitatively reproduce data Full thermalization not achieved

bull Using a transport simulation we study the sensitivity of the HBT radii to the degree of thermalization and if this effect can explain even partially the HBT puzzle

bull Numerical solution of the 2+1 dimensional Boltzmann equation

bull The Boltzmann equation (vpart)f=C[f] describes the dynamics of a dilute gas statistically through its 1-particle phase-space distribution f(xtp)

bull The Monte-Carlo method solves this equation byndash drawing randomly the initial positions and momenta of particles

according to the phase-space distributionndash following their trajectories through 2rarr2 elastic collisionsndash averaging over several realizations

Elliptic flow versus Kn

v2=v2hydro(1+14 Kn)

Smooth convergence to ideal hydro as Knrarr0

The centrality dependence of v2 explained

1 Phobos data for v2

2 ε obtained using Glauber or CGC initial conditions +fluctuations

3 Fit with

v2=v2hydro(1+14 Kn)

assuming

1Kn=(σS)(dNdy)

with the fit parameters σ and v2

hydroε

Kn~03 for central Au-Au collisions

v2 30 below ideal hydro

(Density in the azimuthal plane)

AzHBT radii evolution vs K-1

QuickTimetrade and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

are needed to see this picture

Better convergence to hydro in the direction of the flow

EOS effects

bull Ideal gasbull RoRsRl product is conserved

In nature there is a phase transition

bull Realistic EOSbull s deacrese but S constant at the transition (constant T)

ndash Increase of the volume V at constant T

Phase transition implies an increase of the radii values
