Bose-Einstein correlations in pp interactions at √s=0.2 to 0.9 TeV

Abstract Bose-Einstein correlations have been measured at the SPS collider at centre-of-mass energies from √ s =0.2 to 0.9 TeV. The size and the incoherence parameter of the particle emitting region have been determined as a function of charged particle density in pseudorapidity Δ n /Δη, centre-of-mass energy and the direction of emission of the charged particles. For fixed values of Δ n /Δη the size of the interaction region and the incoherence parameter remain constant with rising √ s . At fixed √ s , the size of the interaction region increases with rising charged particle density while the incoherence parameter decreases.
