Two-pion interferometry for the granular sources in the heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate the two-pion interferometry in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions in the granular source model of quark-gluon plasma droplets. The pion transverse momentum spectra and HBT radii of the granular sources agree well with the experimental data of the most central Au-Au collisions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV at RHIC and Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 TeV at LHC. In the granular source model the larger initial system breakup time for the LHC collisions as compared to the RHIC collisions may lead to the larger HBT radii RoutR_{\rm out}, RsideR_{\rm side}, and RlongR_{\rm long}. However, the large droplet transverse expansion and limited average relative emitting time of particles in the granular source lead to the ratio of the transverse HBT radii Rout/Rside∼1R_{\rm out}/R_{\rm side} \sim 1.
