NONSTANDARD PEAK VALUES OF THE BOSE-EINSTEIN CORRELATIONS AND THEIR POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION BY A METRIC DESCRIPTION OF STRONG-INTERACTIONS

We critically reanalyze some recent experimental data on the Bose-Eins tein (BE) correlations in pion production. We show that there is, in s ome cases, an experimental evidence for a peak height of the correlati on function greater than two, contrarily to the predictions of the ''c anonical'' theory of BE correlations. Although an explanation of such an ''anomalous'' value can be given by means of suitable phenomenologi cal models, we show that this result is a straightforward consequence of the treatment of BE correlations within the framework of a descript ion of strong interactions in terms of a deformed Minkowski metric.
