Coulomb and core/halo corrections to Bose-Einstein n-particle correlations

Abstract

We report on a systematic treatment of Coulomb corrections for 3- and n-particle (Bose-Einstein) correlations, leading to a removal of a 100 % systematic error from earlier Coulomb corrections of 5-particle Bose-Einstein correlations in heavy ion collisions. These results are generalized to include strong final state interactions and core-halo effects.
