Ae. Blinov et al., BOSE-EINSTEIN CORRELATIONS IN E(-) ANNIHILATION IN THE UPSILON(1S) AND CONTINUUM()E(), Zeitschrift fur Physik. C, Particles and fields, 69(2), 1996, pp. 215-222
Bose-Einstein correlations in direct Upsilon(1S) decays and continuum
in the energy region root s = 7.2-10.3 GeV have been studied using dat
a taken with the MD-1 detector at VEPP-4 storage ring. Assuming gaussi
an density of the pion source the data indicate the radius of the sour
ce tau = 0.73 +/- 0.10 +/- 0.04 fm for direct Upsilon(1S) decays and t
au = 0.83 +/- 0.22 +/- 0.05 fm for the continuum. The correlation stre
ngths lambda for both data samples also are similar. Thus Bose-Einstei
n correlations do not reveal a noticeable difference between quark and
gluon fragmentation.
