Finite size of hadrons and Bose-Einstein Correlations

Abstract

In this presentation I report on the results of the paper we published recently together with Kacper Zalewski. It exploits the consequences of the observation that the hadrons, being the composite objects, cannot be produced too close to each other and thus must be correlated in space-time. One of these consequences, which we discuss here, is that the correlation function need not be larger than 1 (as is necessary if the space-time correlations are absent). Since the data from LEP and from LHC do show that the correlation function falls below 1, the particles must be correlated and we show that our observation does explain this unexpected effect.
