Blast-wave model description of the Hanbury-Brown--Twiss radii in pp collisions at LHC energies

Abstract

The blast wave model is applied to the recent data on HBT radii in pp collisions, measured by the ALICE collaboration. A reasonable description of data is obtained for a rather low temperature of the kinetic freeze-out, T ~ 100 MeV, and the transverse profile corresponding to the emission from a shell of a fairly small width 2 d ~ 1.5 fm. The size and the life-time of the produced system are determined for various multiplicities of the produced particles.
