Simulation of Bose-Einstein effect using space-time aspects of Lund string fragmentation model

The experimentally observed enhancement of number of close boson pairs in e+e- collisions is reproduced by local weighting according to the quantum mechanical prescriptions for production of identical bosons. The space-time picture of the process, inherently present in the Lund fragmentation model, is explicitly used. The model is used to check systematic errors in the W mass measurements due to the Bose-Einstein effect. The possibility of direct implementation of the Bose-Einstein effect into string fragmentation is discussed.
