Bose-Einstein and Other Correlations in Hadronic Z Decay

In hadronic Z decays, Bose-Einstein correlations in neutral pion pairs are compared to those in identical charged pion pairs. Bose-Einstein correlations are also measured in triplets of identical charged pions, and comparison with those in pairs of pions indicates that pion production is completely incoherent. Further, factorial cumulants are used to compare correlations among like-sign as well as among all particles with those of several Monte Carlo models.
