Bose-Einstein correlations of pairs of identical charged pions produced in hadronic Z decays are analyzed for both two- and three-jet events. A parametrization suggested by the tau-model is used to investigate the dependence of the Bose-Einstein corr
elation function on track multiplicity, number of jets, and transverse momentum.
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 partic
les momentum is correlated with its space-time point of production, the taumodel. 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 taumodel, and this is investigated using an adhoc/ modification.
A parametrization of the Bose-Einstein correlation function of pairs of identical pions produced in hadronic e+e- annihilation is proposed within the framework of a model (the tau-model) in which space-time and momentum space are very strongly correl
ated. Using information from the Bose-Einstein correlations as well as from single-pion spectra,it is then possible to reconstruct the space-time evolution of pion production.
