Abstract
Non-identical particle correlations offer new methods of probing the dynamics of heavy-ion collision. In STAR we have performed a correlation analysis of pion-kaon and pion-proton systems for √sNN = 130 AGeV Au+Au collisions. The results show that average emission space-time points of pions, kaons and protons are not the same. These results are studied with the help of heavy-ion collision models. The asymmetries appear as a consequence of space-momentum correlations produced by transverse radial expansion of the system. The effects of emission time differences, coming from the decay of resonances are also investigated, and found to explain only part of the asymmetry.
