Transverse Flow vs. Random Walk: an Interferometric Judgement* — •Boris Tomášik1, Ulrich Heinz1, and Ján Pišút2 — 1Institut f"ur Theoretische Physik, Universit"at Regensburg, D-93040 Regensburg, Germany — 2Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Comenius University, Mlynská Dolina, SK-84215 Bratislava, Slovakia
Studying the Bose-Einstein correlations resulting from “random walk models” [1,2] we draw the conclusion [3] that they are not able to describe the data from CERN/SPS experiments. These models cannot accomodate the rise of the longitudinal correlation radius with the size of the collision system. They also fail to reproduce the magnitude and M⊥-dependence of the transverse correlation radius Rs. The measured data of Rs in Pb+Pb collisions indicate a source which is in transverse direction approxinately twice as big as the original lead nucleus. This requires transverse collective expansion in those collisions.
