Abstract
The Bose-Einstein correlations (BEG) observed in hadronic experiments are reviewed. Emphasis is given to the factors that can modify the BEC parameters. The experimental results are studied and the behavior of the parameters is examined. The available data and the currently used parametrizations seem to indicate that the radius of particle sources does not depend on the energy of the system. However, new types of par ametrization have been introduced and applied in certain experiments, which show a different behavior. In these cases, the data are not conc lusive about the type of parametrization and the parameter values.
