Abstract:
The implications of the formation of a Bose condensate on one- and two-particle spectra are studied for ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions in the framework of a hydrodynamic description. It is found that single particle spectra are considerably enhanced at low momenta. The Bose-Einstein correlation function has an intercept below two. For pion pairs in the central region a two-component structure may appear in the correlation function, which is different from that found in quantum optics. The chaoticity parameter is strongly momentum dependent.
