Heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies create a hot and dense medium of deconned quarks
and gluons, known as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) [56]. The QGP reball rst expands,
cools and then freezes out into a collection of nal-state hadrons. Correlations between the
free particles carry information about the space-time extent of the emitting source, and are
imprinted on the nal-state spectra due to a quantum-mechanical interference eect [18].
The correlation of two identical particles at small relative momentum, commonly known as
intensity, or Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT), interferometry, is an eective tool to study the
space-time structure of the emitting source …
