Bose-Einsten and other two particle correlations - MC study    [PDF]

V. A. Schegelsky

The Monte Carlo toy model of Bose-Einstein correlations is considered to make a best choice from different reference distributions. It occurs that the minimal bias in the Bose-Einstein correlation parameters estimation is provided by the reference sample which is being emulated from a real sample by the turn of all vectors in an event by a random angle in the transverse plane. It proposed to use similar approach in the analysis of two-dimensional correlation. To make the analysis less dependent on a reference sample, new definition of azimuthal angle difference is implemented as the angle between vectors in the transverse plane. Then one-dimensional correlation of azimuthal angles can be studied without a reference sample subtraction. The ridge in two-dimensional correlation appears if an appropriate cut in pair invariant masses is applied.
