Bose-Einstein Correlations in e+e- -> W+W- at a Linear Collider

Abstract

We show that the most popular method to simulate Bose-Einstein (BE) interference effects predicts negligible correlations between identical pions originating from the hadronic decay of different W's produced in e+e- -> W+W- -> 4 jets at typical linear collider energies.
