  2. Strong Interaction and Coulomb-induced Correlations - A. Kisiel & R.  Lednicky

  3. Investigating Dynamics and the EOS with HBT - T. Csorgo & S. Pratt

  4. Correlations from Small Sources - M. Lisa & W. Metzger

  8. Squeezed states and particle-antiparticle Back-to-Back Correlation - G. Krein
     

Working Themes (Hands-on)

  1. HBT predictions for LHC p+p and Pb+Pb collisions

  2. Joint theoretical & experimental analyses of Back-to-Back Correlations

  3. What consensus can be made (about the collective flow and temperature profiles of the final state ) by the successful HBT models at RHIC?
     

    Discussion Forum: issues regarding falsifiability:

     

    1. What could experimentalists design/use to *falsify* particular claims?

    2. What predictions could theorists make whose measurement could serve to falsify their favorite model?

    3. Some Questions of Principle:
      - The problem of small sources and the violation of the so-called smoothness approximation
      - difference between correlation femtoscopy and correlation spectroscopy (HBT)
      - neutrino (Dirac and Majorana) correlations
      - neutral kaon correlations
      - impact of zero mass on photon correlations
