The dependence of Bose-Einstein Correlations on energy, multiplicity and hadronic jets

The dependence of the one dimensional Bose-Einstein correlation R_1D derived from proton-proton collisions is examined in terms of energy, hadron multiplicity and number of emerging hadronic jets. It is argued that the observed rise of R_1D with energy is the result of the increase of the average number of hadronic jets. It is further shown that by the relative straightforward measurements of R_1D and its chaoticity parameter $λ$ one should be able to estimate the average number of outgoing hadronic jets emitted over the entire final state phase space without the necessity to rely on a particular jet finding algorithm and its associated parameters.
