Femtoscopy as a tool for studying phase transition phenomena at STAR/BES energies in context of femtoscopic analysis at NICA

摘要

Femtoscopy is a tool to study the space-time evolution of hot and dense matter during high energy collision by using two-particle correlations. The femtoscopic and flow measurements at RHIC and LHC energies are well reproduced by the hydrodynamics models that contains equation of state (EoS) with crossover type transition from Quark-Gluon Plasma to hadron gas phase. Similar studies where performed at AGS and SPS accelerators and was performed in Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider for exploring phase diagram of QCD matter. I present the femtoscopic observables calculated for Au-Au collisions at √s_(NN) = 7.7 — 62.4 GeV calculated from viscous hydro + cascade model vHLLE+UrQMD with two types of EoSs - one that correspond to 1st order phase transition (PT) and second that correspond to crossover PT. I also discuss perspectives of femtoscopic measurements at NICA energy scale √s_(NN) = 4—11 GeV.
