Two and Three-Pion Quantum Statistics Correlations in Pb-Pb Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV at the LHC

ALICE Collaboration

Understand

Correlations induced by quantum statistics are sensitive to the spatio-temporal extent as well as dynamics of particle emitting sources in heavy-ion collisions.

In addition, such correlations can be used to search for the presence of a coherent component of pion production.
Two and three-pion correlations of same and mixed-charge are measured at low relative momentum to estimate the coherent fraction of charged pions in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV at the LHC with ALICE.
The genuine three-pion quantum statistics correlation is found to be suppressed relative to the two-pion correlation based on the assumption of fully chaotic pion emission.
