Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 102302 (2005) [4 pages]Quantum Opacity, the RHIC Hanbury Brown–Twiss Puzzle, and the Chiral Phase TransitionSee Also: Erratum
We present a relativistic quantum-mechanical treatment of opacity and refractive effects that allows reproduction of observables measured in two-pion Hanbury Brown–Twiss (HBT) interferometry and pion spectra at RHIC. The inferred emission duration is substantial. The results are consistent with the emission of pions from a system that has a restored chiral symmetry. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
