Outlines
Hydro at RHIC Rather successful for spectra and elliptic flow
But, cannot describe pion HBT
A blast wave model?Very strong flow
Short emission duration
More constraints : new 2-particle correlations from STAR
Pion HBT with respect to the reaction plane
Kaon HBT
Kaon – pion correlations

Clear in-plane oscillation
Blast wave fitR=10 fm, T=110 MeV, <t> = 0.52c
Consistent with other measurements
Favor a scenario with an anisotropy both in space and momentum

Conclusions and outlook
New measurements from STAR :
Pion HBT with respect to reaction plane
Kaon HBT
Kaon-pion CF
Qualitative agreement with a blast wave scenario
But, so far, cannot be achieved by any hydro or microscopic model
