Bose-Einstein correlations as reflection of correlations of fluctuations

Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) observed between identical bosons produced in high energy multiparticle collisions are regarded as very important tool in investigations of multiparticle production processes. We present here their stochastic feature stressing the fact that they can be regarded as a reflection of correlations of fluctuations present in hadronizing system. We show in particular that such approach allows for simple modelling of BEC in numerical event generators used to describe the multiparticle production processes at high energy collisions.

Numerical modelling of correlations

We demonstrate algorithm for numerical modelling of Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) formulated on quantum statistical level for a single event and exploring the property that identical particles subjected to Bose statistics do bunch themselves in a maximal possible way in the same cells in phase-space.

Numerical modelling of Bose-Einstein correlations

We propose extension of the algorithm for numerical modelling of Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC), which was presented some time ago in the literature. It is formulated on quantum statistical level for a single event and uses the fact that identical particles subjected to Bose statistics do bunch themselves, in a maximal possible way, in the same cells in phase-space. The bunching effect is in our case obtained in novel way allowing for broad applications and fast numerical calculations. First comparison with $e^+e^-$ annihilations data performed by using simple cascade hadronization model is very encouraging.

Can cosmic rays provide sign of strangelets?

We discuss the possible imprints of Strange Quark Matter (SQM) in cosmic ray data. In particular, we investigate the propagation of SQM through the atmosphere and discuss: i) direct candidates for strangelets, ii) exotic events interpreted as signals of SQM and iii) muon bundles and delayed neutrons in Extensive Air Showers. The physics and astrophysics of SQM is shortly reviewed. We point out the possibility that extreme energy cosmic rays are the results of the decay of unstable primordial objects. Finally, the abundance of possible candidates for strangelets and their mass spectrum are estimated and compared with the astrophysical limits and prospects of the possible observation of SQM in accelerator experiments are outlined.

Non-exponential decays and nonextensivity

We demonstrate that non-exponential decays of unstable systems can be understood as yet another example of nonextensivity encountered in many physical systems and as such can be characterized by the nonextensivity parameter q.

Application of nonextensive statistics to particle and nuclear physics

We present an overview of possible imprints of non-extensitivity in particle and nucler physics. Special emphasis is put on the intrinsic fluctuations present in the system under consideration as the possible source of nonextensivity. The possible connection of nonextensivity and the self organized criticality apparently being observed in some cosmic rays and hadronic experiments will also be discussed.

How to model Bose-Einstein correlations

We propose new algorithm for numerical modelling of Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC). It is based on the fact that identical particles subjected to BEC do, by definition, bunch themselves in a maximal possible way, restricted only by conservation laws, in the same cells in phase-space.

How to observe fluctuating temperature?

We provide arguments that event-by-event (EBE) analysis of multiparticle production data are ideal place to search for the possible fluctuation of temperature characterizing hadronizing source in thermodynamical approach.

Bose-Einstein correlations in cascade processes and non-extensive statistics

We discuss the effect of nonextensivity of the emitting source on the Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC). This is done numerically by comparing cascade hadronization model (CAS), which is known to exhibit fractal structure in both space-time and phase-space, with its equivalent obtained from the information theory approach (MaxEnt), in which hadronization proceeds uniformly in the phase-space. To this end we have developed a new method of accounting for BEC in Monte Carlo event generators, which preserves all kinematics of the hadronization process.

Imprints of Nonextensivity in Multiparticle Production

The statistical methods based on the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) approach are at heart of essentially all descriptions of multiparticle production processes. In many cases, however, one observes some deviations from the expected behaviour. It is also known that conditions necessary for the BG statistics to apply are usually satisfied only approximately. Two attitudes are possible in such situations: either to abandon statistical approach trying some other model or to generalise it to the so called nonextensive statistics (widely used in the similar circumstances in many other branches of physics). We shall provide here an overview of possible imprints of non-extensitivity existing both in high energy cosmic ray physics and in multiparticle production processes in hadronic collisions, in particular in heavy ion collisions.

The imprints of nonextensive statistical mechanics in high energy collisions

To describe high energy collisions one widely uses thermodynamical methods and concepts which follow the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) approach. In many cases, however, either some deviations from the expected behaviour are observed experimentally or it is known that the conditions necessary for BG to apply are satisfied only approximately. In other branches of physics where such situations are ubiquitous, the popular remedy is to resort, instead, to the so called nonextensive statistics, the most popular example of which is Tsallis statistics. We shall provide here an overview of possible imprints of non-extensitivity existing both in high energy cosmic ray physics and in multiparticle production processes in hadronic collisions, in particular in heavy ion collisions. Some novel proposition for the interpretation of the nonextensitivity parameter q present in such circumstances will be discussed in more detail.

Strangelets at Chacaltaya

We discuss the possible imprints of strangelets (i.e., lumps of Strange Quark Matter) in Chacaltaya experimental data using model of propagation of such objects through the atmosphere developed by us recently.

Violation of the Feynman scaling law as a manifestation of nonextensivity

We demonstrate that the apparently ad hoc parametrization of the particle production spectra discussed in the literature and used in description of cosmic ray data can be derived from the information theory approach to multiparticle production processes. In particular, the violation of the Feynman scaling law can be interpreted as a manifestation of nonextensivity of the production processes.

Self-organized criticality in atmospheric cascades

We argue that atmospheric cascades can be regarded as example of the self-organized criticality and studied by using Levy flights and nonextensive approach. It allows us to understand the scale-invariant energy fluctuations inside cascades in a natural way.

Muons from strangelets

The hypothesis is discussed that muon bundles of extremaly high multiplicity observed recently by ALEPH detector (in the dedicated cosmic-ray run) can originate from the strangelets colliding with the atmosphere.

Some remarks on the interpretation of degree of nonextensivity

Recently we have demostrated that the nonextensitivity parameter q occuring in some applications of Tsallis statistics (known also as index of the corresponding Lévy distribution) is, in the q>1 case, given entirely by the fluctuations of the parameters of the usual exponential distribution. We show here that this interpretation is valid also for the q<1 case. The parameter q is therefore a measure of fluctuations of the parameters of the usual exponential distribution.
