Photon versus Hadron Interferometry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Photons and mesons are both bosons and therefore satisfy the same Bose-Einstein statistics. This leads to certain similarities in the corresponding Bose-Einstein correlations which underly photon and hadron intensity interferometry. However there are also important differences between the two effects and these will be analyzed in the following.
