Abstract
We propose a novel numerical method of modeling Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) observed among identical (bosonic) particles produced in multiparticle production reactions. We argue that the most natural approach is to work directly in the momentum space in which the Bose statistics of secondaries reveals itself in their tendency to bunch in a specific way in the available phase space. Because such procedure is essentially identical to the clan model of multiparticle distributions proposed some time ago, therefore we call it the Quantum Clan Model.
