Two- and three-particle interference correlations of identical bosons and fermions with close momenta in the model of independent point-like sources

Interference correlations introduced between identical particles with close momenta by the effect of Bose or Fermi statistics are discussed. Relations describing two- and three-particle correlations of identical bosons and fermions with arbitrary spin and arbitrary spin polarization are obtained on the basis of the model of independent single-particle point-like sources. The general structure of the dependence of narrow two- and three-particle correlations on the difference of the four-momenta in the presence of several groups of single-particle sources with different space-time distributions is analyzed. The idea of many-particle point sources of identical bosons is introduced. The suppression of two- and three-particle interference correlations between identical π mesons under conditions when one or several many-particle sources are added to a system of randomly distributed independent single-particle sources is studied. It is shown that if the multiplicities of the particles emitted by the sources are distributed according to the Poisson law, the present results agree with the relations obtained by means of the formalism of coherent states. This agreement also holds in the limit of very large multiplicities with any distribution laws
