A Bose-Einstein Model of Particle Multiplicity Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model of particle production is developed based on a parallel with a theory of Bose-Einstein condensation and similarities with other critical phenomena such as critical opalescence. The role of a power law critical exponentτ and Levy indexα are studied. Various features of this model are developed and compared with other commonly used models of particle production which are shown to differ by having different values for α τ , . While void scaling is a feature of this model, hierarchical structure is not a general property of it. The value of the exponent 2 = τ is a transition point associated with void and hierarchical scaling features. An exponent γ is introduced to describe enhanced fluctuations near a critical point. Experimentally determined properties of the void scaling function can be used to determine τ . PACS numbers: 25.75Dw, 25.75Gz, 25.75Nq

Bose-Einstein correlations for Lévy stable source distributions
The peak of the two-particle Bose-Einstein correlation functions has a very interesting structure. It is often believed to have a multivariate Gaussian form. We show here that for the class of stable distributions, characterized by the index of stability 0 < α ≤ 2, the peak has a stretched exponential shape. The Gaussian form corresponds then to the special case of α = 2. We give examples for t...
متن کاملMulti-boson Effects in Bose-einstein Interferometry
Multi-boson symmetrization effects on two-particle Bose-Einstein interferometry are studied for ensembles with arbitrary multiplicity distributions. In the general case one finds interesting residual correlations which require a modified framework for extracting information on the source geometry from two-particle correlation measurements. In sources with high phase-space densities, multi-boson...
متن کاملBose — Einstein correlations of charged kaons in p + p collisions with the STAR detector
We report the results of charged kaon Bose–Einstein Correlations (BEC) measured in protonproton collisions at √ s =200 and 510 GeV with the STAR detector at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The one-dimensional correlation functions are studied as a function of the charged particle multiplicity. The femtoscopic radii, R, and the correlation strength, λ, are extracted. The dependence of th...
متن کاملVarious Models for Pion Probability Distributions from Heavy-Ion Collisions
Various models for pion multiplicity distributions produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions are discussed. The models include a relativistic hydrodynamic model, a thermodynamic description, an emitting source pion laser model, and a description which generates a negative binomial description. The approach developed can be used to discuss other cases which will be mentioned. The pion probab...
متن کاملBrooding over Pion Lasers
Brooding over pions, wave-packets and Bose-Einstein correlations, we present a recently obtained analitical solution to a pion laser model, which may describe the final state of pions in high energy heavy ion collisions. Introduction. At the planned RHIC accelerator pions, the lightest observable strongly interacting particles, will be produced in thousands in a unit interval of the longitudina...
