Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac Interferometry in Particle Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
The application of the Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac interferometry to multi-hadron final states of particle reactions is reviewed. The underlying theoretical concepts of particle interferometry is presented where a special emphasis is given to the recently proposed Fermi-Dirac correlation analysis. The experimental tools used for the interferometry analyses and the interpretation of their results are discussed in some details. In particular the interpretation of the dimension r, as measured from the interferometry analysis, is investigated and compared to that measured in heavy-ion collisions. Finally the similarity between the dependence of r on the hadron mass and the interatomic separation on the atomic mass in Bose condensates is outlined.

Particle Interferometry from 40 MeV to 40 TeV
Recent developments are summarized in the theory of Bose– Einstein and Fermi–Dirac correlations, with emphasis on the necessity of a simultaneous analysis of particle spectra and quantum statistical correlations for a detailed reconstruction of the space-time picture of particle emission. The reviewed topics are as follows: basics and formalism of quantum-statistical correlations, model-indepen...

It is shown that there exists an intimate relationship between Bose Einstein correlations and quantum field theory. On the one hand several essential aspects of BEC cannot be understood and even formulated without second quantization. On the other hand BEC can serve as a unique tool in the investigation of modern field theory and in particular of the standard model. Some new developments on thi...
متن کاملPath integral molecular dynamics for Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics
We propose a promising extension of the path integral molecular dynamics method to Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics. The partition function for the quantum statistics was re-written in a form amenable to the molecular dynamics method with the aid of an idea of pseudopotential for the permutation of particles. Our pseudopotential is a rigorous one describing the whole effect of Bose-Eins...
متن کاملOperator Representation of Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein Integral Functions with Applications
Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein functions arise as quantum statistical distributions. The Riemann zeta function and its extension, the polylogarithm function, arise in the theory of numbers. Though it might not have been expected, these two sets of functions belong to a wider class of functions whose members have operator representations. In particular, we show that the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einst...
متن کاملOccupancy statistics arising from weighted particle rearrangements
The box-occupancy distributions arising from weighted rearrangements of a particle system are investigated. In the grand-canonical ensemble, they are characterized by determinantal joint probability generating functions. For doubly non-negative weight matrices, fractional occupancy statistics, generalizing Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics, can be defined. A spatially extended version of...
