Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 052301 (2004) [4 pages]Differential Freeze-Out and Pion Interferometry at RHIC from Covariant Transport TheoryReceived 6 November 2002; published 2 February 2004 Puzzling discrepancies between recent pion interferometry data on Au+Au reactions at √s=130 and 200 AGeV from RHIC and predictions based on ideal hydrodynamics are analyzed in terms of covariant parton transport theory. The discrepancies in the Rout/Rside ratio are significantly reduced when the finite opacity of the gluon plasma is taken into account. However, the magnitude of the radii is not well accounted for. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
