Bose-Einstein correlations

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The effect of Bose-Einstein correlations on multiplicity distributions of identical pions is discussed. It is found that these correlations affect significantly the observed multiplicity distributions, but Einstein's condensation is unlikely to be achieved, unless "cold spots", i.e. regions, where groups of pions with very small relative momenta are produced, occur in high energy heavy-ion collisions.
