Conclusion

Correlation moments for low kT pion pairs from Run4 peripheral Au+Au collisions well described by the Hump Fit function.

For low kT pion pairs from peripheral collisions, inferred pion source lifetime ~ 3.5 fm/c & pion emission duration ~ 1 fm/c < central collisions.

Extracted Kaon source function essentially Gaussian – No significant non-Gaussian tail observed.

Kaon source dimension & lifetime smaller than for pion source; Kaon emission instantaneous (Therminator)
