Final source eccentricity measured by HBT interferometry with the event   shape selection
  Azimuthal angle dependence of the pion source radii has been measured applying the event shape engineering technique at the PHENIX experiment. When events with higher magnitude of second-order flow vector are selected, the oscillation of the source radii is enhanced as well as $v_2$ which leads to the enhancement of the measured final source eccentricity. The event twist effect in the spatial source distribution in the final state has been also explored with AMPT model. Results indicate a possible twisted source due to the initial longitudinal fluctuations.
