Abstract

Results are presented of a two-pion interferometry (HBT) analysis in Pb + Au collisions at 40, 80, and 158 A GeV. A detailed study of the Bertsch-Pratt HBT radius parameters has been performed as function of the mean pair transverse momentum k t and in bins of the centrality of the collision. From these results we extract model-dependent information about the space-time evolution of the reaction. An investigation of the effective volume of the pion emitting system provides an important tool to study the properties of thermal pion freeze-out.
