Description
Three-dimensional pion source images have been successfully extracted
from relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and CERN recently. The
extraction exploits the use of the 3D source imaging technique of
Danielewicz, Pratt and Brown.
The STAR collaboration has acquired much better statistics data in recent
years thus extending the application of imaging techniques to pion
correlation functions obtained with various pion pair kT and collision
centrality selections. This permits the systematic extraction of
dynamical parameters of the pion source evolution.
The STAR program for extracting the pion source images at various kT and
centrality bins with improved statistics will be presented in
conjunction with model calculations.
