The Gaussian source function popularly used in the HBT analysis of relativistic heavy ion collisions is invalid in this case. An inversion-asymmetric source function is suggested. A method for extracting the inversion-asymmetry degree of the source together with the source size from experimental data is proposed.4 pages, 5 figuresNuclear TheoryAn inversion-asymmetric source function for HBT analysis in relativistic heavy ion collisionstext
