Lévy-stable two-pion Bose-Einstein correlations in \sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200 GeV Au+Au collisions

We present a detailed measurement of charged two-pion correlation functions in 0%-30% centrality \sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200 GeV Au+Au collisions by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The data are well described by Bose-Einstein correlation functions stemming from L\'evy-stable source distributions. Using a fine transverse momentum binning, we extract the... Show more
