On the measurement of correlations of neutral pions in a high multiplicity environment

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The role of the combinatorial background of photon pairs in the analysis of correlations of neutral pions is investigated. The influence of four-particle effects in the Bose-Einstein enhancement is studied within a simulation. The HBT effect can be observed even in a high multiplicity environment, if the source size is not too large. A new method for neutral pion interferometry is introduced, which would allow also the measurement of large sources in high statistics experiments.
