The Bose-Einstein effect and the joint WW decay

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The influence of the Bose - Einstein interference effect on the joint WW hadronic decay is discussed. It is shown that the weight method incorporating this effect into Monte Carlo generators produces in a natural way an excess of average multiplicity as compared to the independent decay of two W bosons. The quantitative results for the average multiplicity and momentum distribution of charged pions, obtained with a simple parametrization of weights compatible with the observed shape of the "Bose - Einstein ratio", agree well with the existing data.
