Comments on bunching and antibunching effects in thermal beams

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Bunching and antibunching effects in thermal beams are examined from the point of view of the statistics of the particles of the beam. A theorem is proven which enables one to express higher order correlations in a beam of bosons and fermions in terms of second order correlations.
