Bose-Einstein correlations in pion production at TRISTAN

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6696607
Measurements of Bose-Einstein correlations in the production of like-signed pion pairs have been made with the AMY detector at TRISTAN. An event sample of 3800 hadronic events with {l angle}{radical}s{r angle} = 57.2 GeV was used. These measurements indicate a strength of the enhancement of {lambda} = 0.60 {plus minus} 0.13 {plus minus} 0.08, with a typical correlation size of R{sub 0} = 1.18 {plus minus} 0.17 {plus minus} 0.10 fm. This value of {lambda} is consistent with measurements at lower energies; however, R{sub 0} is somewhat larger than lower energy results have indicated. 12 refs., 3 figs.
