Particle Correlations at LHCb

Studies of particle correlations provide an insight into hadronization, the process that after many years of research is still not fully described. Past and ongoing analyses at the LHCb investigate this phenomenon in the unique forward kinematic region of the detector (2 < η < 5), expanding the knowledge gathered by other experiments. Studies of the Bose–Einstein Correlations for pairs and triplets of identical pions unveil temporal and spatial properties of the hadronic source as well as characteristics of the particle emission.
