A Measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations in e+ e- annihilation at TRISTAN

Using e + e − annihilation events accumulated with the AMY detector at the TRISTAN collider, we have studied the Bose-Einstein correlations in the distributions of like-sign charged tracks. As reference samples we used the opposite-sign charged track pairs and mixed pairs, which are like-sign pairs synthesized from tracks belonging to different events. The results of the different reference samples give approximately 0.45 for the correlation strength and approximately 0.65 fm for the source size. Previous measurements of these parameters in e + e − annihilation at energies from CESR to LEP show remarkably flat dependence on s . Our results conform well with this picture.
