Abstract

We measure three-particle Bose–Einstein correlations in hadronic Z decay with the L3 detector at LEP. Genuine three-particle Bose–Einstein correlations are observed. By comparing two- and three-particle correlations we find that the data are consistent with fully incoherent pion production.
