Some forgotten features of the Bose Einstein Correlations

TL;DR

This paper discusses overlooked aspects of Bose-Einstein Correlations, focusing on the form of the correlation function with partial coherence and the potential for modeling BEC effects through direct numerical simulations.

Contribution

It highlights two neglected issues in BEC studies: the appropriate form of the correlation function considering partial coherence and the possibility of simulating BEC effects numerically.

Findings

Identifies the importance of the correlation function form with partial coherence.

Explores the feasibility of numerical simulations for BEC effects.

Abstract

Notwithstanding the visible maturity of the subject of Bose-Einstein Correlations (BEC), as witnessed nowadays, we would like to bring to ones attention two points, which apparently did not received attention they deserve: the problem of the choice of the form of $C_2(Q)$ correlation function when effects of partial coherence of the hadronizing source are to be included and the feasibility to model effects of Bose-Einstein statistics, in particular the BEC, by direct numerical simulations.
