Reversible 2T magnetic field
Two symmetric spectrometer arms
Tracking within 10 cm of interaction point – providing a small two-particle inefficiency (~ 25x50 mrad in θ and ψ space)
Phi acceptance of 3% each arm
Ghost tracks ~ 0.3%
p/p is better than 1.5% for p<0.7GeV

ConclusionsConclusions
Using RHIC 2001 run data (Au+Au @ 200 GeV) to analyze HBT correlations
HBT radii are similar to RHIC 130 GeV results
The HBT puzzle still goes on …..
More Kt bins will come
Systematic studies are underway
