Abstract
In previous works, in order to include correction by the Coulomb wave function in Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC), the two-body Coulomb scattering wave functions have been utilized in the formulation of three-body BEC. However, the three-body Coulomb scattering wave function, which satisfies approximately the three-body Coulomb scattering Schrodinger equation, cannot be written by the product of the two-body scattering wave functions. Therefore, we reformulate the three-body BEC, and reanalyze the data. A set of reasonable parameters is obtained.
