Description
Non-identical particle femtoscopy probes not only the size of the
emitting system, but also the emission asymmetries between particles
of different mass, which are intimately related with the collective
behavior of matter. We apply the technique to the simulations from the
THERMINATOR+Lhyquid model of the heavy-ion collisions at
RHIC. We present predictions for all common pair combinations and
discuss their interpretation. Emphasis is put on extracting unique
information about collective behavior of matter from the non-identical
correlations and understanding the role of particles coming from
decays of hadronic resonances. We also present, in detail, the
technical aspects of the non-identical particle femtoscopy technique
applied to data from the heavy-ion collisions. We list the sources of
systematic errors coming from the method itself and the usual
assumptions. We suggest most robust analysis methods and discuss their
limitations.
