Bose-Einstein correlations of pairs of identical charged pions produced in hadronic Z decays are analyzed in terms of various parametrizations. A good description is achieved using a Levy stable distribution in conjunction with a model where a particle's momentum is correlated with its space-time point of production, the tau-model. Using this description and the measured rapidity and transverse momentum distributions, the space-time evolution of particle emission in two-jet events is reconstructed. However, the elongation of the particle emission region previously observed is not accommodated in the tau-model, and this is investigated using an ad hoc modification.

Abstract
Bose-Einstein correlations of pairs of identical charged pions produced in hadronic Z decays are analyzed in terms of various parametrizations. A good description is achieved using a Levy stable distribution in conjunction with a model where a particle's momentum is correlated with its space-time point of production, the tau-model. Using this description and the measured rapidity and transverse momentum distributions, the space-time evolution of particle emission in two-jet events is reconstructed. However, the elongation of the particle emission region previously observed is not accommodated in the tau-model, and this is investigated using an ad hoc modification.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
