Description

This paper reports on interference effects of identical pions which have been studied by two collaborations at the ISR, the Axial Field Spectrometer Collaboration (AFS) and the Ames-Bologna-CERN-Dortmund-Heidelbery-Warsaw Collaboration (ABCDHW). The emphasis of this talk will be on a recent publication of the AFS-collaboration, but some of the earlier results are discussed. These interference effects are usually studied by means of the two-particle correlation function for identical particles. Elementary considerations, assuming independent emission of pions from a source with a limited extension in space-time, give the following relationship between the correlation function R(O) and ρ(O), the Fourier transform of the space-time pion source distribution
