Modern correlation femtoscopy formulated by Kopylov & Podgoretsky
KP’71-75: settled basics of correlation femtoscopyin > 20 papers (for non-interacting identical particles)
• proposed CF= Ncorr /Nuncorr &
• argued that sufficiently smooth momentum spectrum allows one to neglect space-time coherence at small q*
smoothness approximation:
mixing techniques to construct Nuncorr
• clarified role of space-time production characteristics: shape & time source picture from various q-projections

where -k(r) = exp(-ikr)+-k(r) and n = r/r
Smoothness approx. WP(r,½(k-kn)) WP(r,-kn) WP(r,k) is valid if one can neglect the k-dependence of WP(r,k), e.g.
for k << 1/r0

Caution: Smoothness approximation is justified for small k << 1/r0
It should be generalized in the region k > ~100 MeV/c

CF at LEP dominated by ! Direct core signal
Summary
• Assumptions behind femtoscopy theory in HIC seem OK at k 0. At k > ~ 100 MeV/c, the r-k correlation requires a generalization of the usual smoothness approximation.
• Wealth of data on correlations of various particle species (,K0,p,,) is available & gives unique space-time info on production characteristics including collective flows.
• Info on two-particle strong interaction: & & p scattering lengths comes from HIC data at SPS and RHIC. Good perspective at RHIC and LHC (a problem of residual correlations is to be solved).
• An evidence on potential core from LEP (however, a small source size questions the smoothness approximation).
