Description

Correlations between non-identical particles at small relative velocity probe asymmetries in the average space-time emission points at freezeout. Such asymmetries may arise from long-lived resonances, bulk collective effects, or differences in the freezeout scenario for the different particle species. STAR has extracted pion-proton correlation functions from a high-statistics dataset of Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200GeV$. We present femtoscopic analysis using spherical-harmonics decomposition of this data for pions and protons, for collisions of different centrality. Preliminary quantitative results extracted from this data are presented for the first time.
