Bose-Einstein correlations in W-pair production at LEP

A report is given on a study of Bose-Einstein correlations in W-pair production at square root (s)=189 GeV with the L3 detector at LEP. In particular, Bose-Einstein correlations are investigated in W/sup +/W /sup -/ overlap and the possible existence of these correlations between particles coming fr...

Sumario:A report is given on a study of Bose-Einstein correlations in W-pair production at square root (s)=189 GeV with the L3 detector at LEP. In particular, Bose-Einstein correlations are investigated in W/sup +/W /sup -/ overlap and the possible existence of these correlations between particles coming from different W's, which may influence the W mass measurements in the four-jet channel e/sup +/e/sup -/ to W/sup +/W/sup -/ to q/sub 1/q/sub 2/q/sub 3/q/sub 4/. No evidence for such an inter-W Bose-Einstein correlation is found. These results are preliminary. (11 refs).
