Abstract：
The influence ofmulti-pion correlations on two-pion interferometry analyses in multi-pion events can be expressed as the ratio of a multi-pion correlation factor for the sample of like-pion pairs to a residual correlation factor for the reference sample. Although these two correlation factors can partially cancel each other in data analyses, the difference between the two factors in the low relative momentum region is so large that the distortion from multi-pion interference becomes a serious problem when the pion source has a small radius and the pion multiplicity is high. The distributions of the multi-pion correlation factor C_n-2(q) offers a good sensitivity to multi-pion correlation effects. Analyses of the multi-pion correlation factor for two Bevalac streamer chamber data samples of 2.1 A GeV Ne + Pb and 1.8 A GeV Ar + Pb collisions show that the multi-pion correlation effect in the former sample is greater than that in the latter.
