Description

Within the hydrodynamical approach, we study the Bose-Einstein correlation of identical pions by taking into account both event-by-event fluctuating initial conditions and continuous pion emission during the whole development of the hot and dense matter formed in high-energy collisions. Important deviations occur, compared to the usual hydrocalculations with smooth initial conditions and a sudden freeze-out on a well defined hypersurface. Comparison with data at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) shows that, despite the rather rough approximation we used here, this description can account for the mT dependence of RL and Rs, and produces a significant improvement for Ro with respect to the usual version
