    We present calculations of two-pion and two-kaon correlation functions in relativistic heavy ion collisions from a relativistic transport model that includes explicitly a first-order phase transition from a thermalized quark-gluon plasma to a hadron gas. We compare the obtained correlation radii with recent data from RHIC. The predicted R side radii agree with data while the R out and R long radii are overestimated. We also address the impact of in-medium modifications, for example, a broadening of the ϱ-meson, on the correlation radii. In particular, the longitudinal correlation radius R long is reduced, improving the comparison to data.
