The RHIC Beam Energy Scan focuses on mapping the QCD phase diagram
and pinpointing the location of a possible critical end
point. Bose-Einstein correlations and event-by-event fluctuations of
conserved quantities, measured as a function of centrality and
collision energy, are promising tools in these studies. Recent
lattice QCD and statistical thermal model calculations predict...

Femtoscopy allows measurements of the space-time characteristics of particle production using correlations resulting from the effects of quantum statistics and final state interactions. We present the results of femtoscopic analyses for different identified particle systems measured by ALICE in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV. Hydrodynamic models predict a decrease of the radii with increasing...

Recent measurements in two- and multi-particle correlations in p+Pb collisions suggest collective behavior reminiscent of that observed in Pb+Pb. In addition, the data hint at interesting geometric behavior in ultra-central p+Pb events, where fluctuations in the size of the proton may become significant. Femtoscopic measurements may provide useful insight on both of these problems because they...

One of the major lessons from the field of heavy-ion physics in the past several years has been the significance of the role played by event-by-event fluctuations in the evolution of a heavy-ion collision. Their important effects on many momentum-space observables (particle yields and spectra, anisotropic flows, etc.) have already been studied systematically, and some of the properties of...

Interaction cross-sections for baryon pairs are of fundamental interest
and they are actively investigated theoretically. They are known well for
pairs of common (anti-)baryons, however there is a lack of precise
data for heavier baryons, including the ones carrying strangeness. The
two-particle correlation formalism (femtoscopy) is sensitive to the
interaction kernel for a pair of...
