Description

The Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) radii of Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy are investigated by a hydrodynamical expanding source with both shear (η) and bulk viscosities (ζ). With different height of the ratio of ζ to entropy density s, the ratio Rout/Rside of HBT radii can not describe the experimental data. But with large enough peak of ζ/s, the instability suggests that the source may clusterize which gives a hint to resolve the HBT puzzle. (author)
