Abstract: (Elsevier)
Recent experimental and theoretical developments in the application of two-particle interferometry to relativistic nuclear collisions are presented. The frame-dependence of apparent source parameters, the prospects for detecting coherent phenomena, and the importance of model-building are discussed.
