Abstract

The theory for Bose-Einstein correlations in case of neutral gauge bosons in $pp$ collisions at high energies is presented. Based on quantum field theory at finite temperature the two-particle Bose-Einstein correlations of neutral gauge bosons are carried out for the first time. As a result, the important parameters of the correlation functions can be obtained for the $Z^{0}Z^{0}$ pairs. The correlations of two bosons in 4-momentum space presented in this paper offer useful and instructive complimentary viewpoints to theoretical and experimental works in multiparticle femtoscopy and interferometry measurements at hadron colliders.
