Abstract: (Elsevier)
Bose–Einstein correlations of charged and neutral kaons have been measured in e±p deep inelastic scattering with an integrated luminosity of 121 pb−1 using the ZEUS detector at HERA. The two-particle correlation function was studied as a function of the four-momentum difference of the kaon pairs, Q12=−(p1−p2)2 , assuming a Gaussian shape for the particle source. The values of the radius of the production volume, r , and of the correlation strength, λ , were obtained for both neutral and charged kaons. The radii for charged and neutral kaons are similar and are consistent with those obtained at LEP.
