Description

A review of the field of Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is presented. The 'HBT puzzle' is explored in detail, emphasizing recent theoretical attempts to understand the persisting puzzle. Recent experimental results on azimuthally sensitive HBT and HBT of direct photons are presented, together with some surprises in the comparison of HBT results from p+p and Au+Au collisions at RHIC
