Abstract

To study the nature of the quark-hadron phase transition, it is important to investigate the space-time structure of the hadron-emitting source in heavy-ion collisions. Measurements of HBT correlations have proven to be a powerful tool to gain information about the source. In these proceedings, we report the current status of the analysis of source parameters obtained from Lévy fits to the measured one-dimensional two-pion correlation functions in Au + Au collisions at \(\sqrt {{{s}_{{NN}}}} \) = 200 GeV.
