Abstract
With the parameters fitted by the particle multiplicity, the energy density at chemical freeze-out, and the charged particle elliptic flow, we have studied the effects of the hadronic mean-field potentials on the Hanbury-Brown and Twiss (HBT) correlation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions based on a multiphase transport model. The hadronic mean-field potentials are found to delay the emission time of the system and lead to large HBT radii extracted from the correlation function. Effects on the energy dependence of and as well as the eccentricity of the emission source are discussed. The HBT correlations can also be useful in understanding the mean-field potentials of protons, kaons, and antiprotons as well as baryon-antibaryon annihilations.
