Abstract
Two-pion correlations from Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon a re measured by the NA44 experiment at CERN. Multidimensional fits char acterize the emission volume, which is found to be larger than in S-in duced collisions. Comparison to the RQMD model is used to relate the f it parameters to the actual emission volume.
