The Bose-Einstein correlations in deep inelastic μp interactions at 280 GeV

Abstract

The Bose-Einstein correlation has been observed for pions in deep inelastic μp interactions at 280 GeV. The importance of non-interference correlations in the sample of like charge pion pairs and in the sample used for reference is discussed. The pion emission region is found to be roughly spherical in the pair rest frame with a radius of 0.46–0.84 fm and the chaos factor λ is 0.60–1.08.
