Abstract
In nuclear reactions the radii of the fragmentation volume obtained wi th Bose-Einstein correlations reflect the effective radius of the proj ectile. However, according to the phenomenological parametrizations of the effect, the Compton wavelength scale of the meson is actually ext racted. We propose a solution to this puzzle and conclude that in heav y-ion collisions Bose-Einstein interference does allow the spacetime d escription of the fragmentation region.
