Surprises from Bose-Einstein correlations

Abstract: An investigation of the space-time extension of particle sources in the current-ensemble formalism shows that under quite general assumptions there exist a quantum-statistical {n^n~) correlation and a difference between {n^^n^) and {K~K~)Bose-Einstein correlations. These effects are found to be enhanced for small momenta and radii.PACS numbers: 13.85. Hd, 05.30.Jp, l2.40.Ee, 25.70.Np Identical particles produced in high-energy collisions are correlated in their momenta due to quantum statistics (QS). This e… Show more

“…If the particles are emitted from a large number of independent source elements, such a form of the density matrix follows from the central limit theorem (cf., e.g., [3]). Upper bounds for the two-particle correlation function for a Gaussian density matrix have already been discussed in [4]: for charged bosons, one finds again C 2 ( k 1 , k 2 ) ≤ 2, but for some neutral bosons like π 0 's and photons, C 2 ( k 1 , k 2 ) ≤ 3. As will be demonstrated below, concerning the lower bounds one can derive the following general results: (a) for a purely chaotic source, C 2 ( k 1 , k 2 ) ≥ 1, and (b) for a partially coherent source,…”

“…However, if the results for the 1-dimensional expansion are affected by the use of an inadequate expression for P 2 ( k 1 , k 2 ), this would also cast doubts on the results obtained for the 3-dimensionally expanding system. of a coherent component, all multiparticle distributions can be expressed in terms of the two-current correlator, J ⋆ (x)J(x ′ ) [4]. The one-and two-particle inclusive distributions then take the form 6…”
