Bose-Einstein Correlations for Mixed Neutral Mesons

Correlations are shown to arise in nonidentical mixed-particle pairs like $K^o \bar K^o$ when observed in identical decay modes like $K_S K_S$ in multiparticle final states containing many partial waves. No enhancement is found in any single partial wave and all partial wave analyses of the s-wave threshold resonance $a_o$ and $f_o$ should give the same results for all decay modes. In CP violation experiments where $B^o - \bar B^o$ pairs are inclusively produced and correlated decays into $ψK_S$ and leptonic modes are observed, the CP-violating lepton asymmetry is enhanced by a factor of two in the kinematic region where Bose enhancement occurs.
