Bose-Einstein correlations in a space-time approach to e(+)e(-) annihilation into hadrons - art. no. 054002

A new treatment of Bose-Einstein correlations is incorporated in a space-ti me parton-shower model for e(+)e(-) annihilation into hadrons. Two alternat ive algorithms are discussed, and we use a simple calculable model to demon strate that they reproduce successfully the size of the hadron emission reg ion. One of the algorithms is used to calculate two-pion correlations in e( +)e(-) --> Z(0) --> hadrons and e(+)e(-) --> W+W- --> hadrons. Results are shown with and without resonance decays, for correlations along and transve rse to the thrust jet axis in these two classes of events.
