From the data collected in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Pb-Pb nucleon collisions experiment, the two-pion Bose-Einstein correlation functions for different combination of same charges and different charges are plotted. The influence of repulsion and attraction through Coulomb interaction between charged pions is reduced after applying the standard Gamow-factor Coulomb correction on Gaussian function C(Qinv). According to the Yano-koonin-Podgoretski parametrization, the five-dimensional components of the invariant momentum difference between two pions are calculated. One of the five components, the momentum difference in the transverse plane QT, can be further divided into Qside and Qout. Q0, Qlong, Qside and Qout were then separately plotted and fitted with the Gaussian function. The sizes of pion source or the effective interferometric source can be extracted from the fitting finally.
