20. To avoid possible problems caused by the non-Gaussian shape of inclusive correlation functions the fit to R2(Φ*) was actually performed in bins of pair kT. The Ri,22's discussed in this article are weighted averages of the Ri,22's obtained for different kT's. The correlation functions presented in Figs. 1 and 2, however, are kT-integrated ones such that the figures reflect the actual statistics, even if not necessarily the shape.

22. We refrain in Fig. 3 from normalizing the coefficients to the corresponding mean source radii. In fact, since the second Fourier coefficients measured at RHIC seem to be, within the measurement errors, independent of transverse momentum while the mean radii vary by about 40%, normalization to mean radii could wash out the weak oscillation we are after.
