Speaker

Dr Scott Pratt (Michigan State University)

Description

I will review how two-particle correlations, or Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) measurements, are providing detailed tests of the hydrodynamic evolution of heavy ion collisions at RHIC. The talk will focus on how hydrodynamics is implemented for this kind of physics and how the details of the implementation can affect final-state observables, especially HBT.
