Bose-Einstein correlation of particles produced by expanding sources

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
Bose-Einstein correlation is discussed for particles produced by rapidly expanding sources, when kinematical effects hinder a direct relation between the observed correlations and the source dimensions. Some of these effects are illustrated by considering Landau's hydrodynamical model wherein each space-time point of the fluid with temperature T = T/sub c/approx. =m/sub ..pi../ is taken as an independent and chaotic emitting center with a Planck spectral distribution. In particular, this model reproduces surprisingly well the observed ..pi..-..pi.. and K-K correlations at the CERN ISR.
