Abstract

We investigate the role of lifetime effects from resonances and emission duration tails in femtoscopy at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in two blast-wave models. We findthe non-Gaussian components compare well with published source imaged data, but the valueof Rout obtained from Gaussian fits is not insensitive to the non-Gaussian contributions when realistic acceptance cuts are applied to models.
