Abstract
We generalize existing quantum-statistical approaches to multiparticle production processes in high-energy physics by studying the effects of squeezed states on second-order Bose-Einstein correlations and multiplicity distributions. The most important and surprising result is the appearance of oscillations in the multiplicity distributions. These oscillations as well as related effects of antibunching and enhanced bunching are investigated for various mixtures of squeezed coherent and chaotic distributions. The experimental situation is briefly discussed.
