Quantum Field Theory of Bose-Einstein Correlations

Abstract

A Quantum Field Theory formulation of Bose-Einstein Correlations is given. It contains as a special case the classical current approach. It is shown that the particle-antiparticle correlations are a general feature of Bose-Einstein Correlations and not an artifact of a certain approximation. Relations are provided through which the quantum corrections to the classical current approach can be determined experimentally.
