  We review particle interferometry before 2000, including: basics and
formalism of quantum-statistical correlations; model-independent analysis of
short-range correlations; Coulomb wave-function corrections and the core/halo
picture for $n$-particle Bose-Einstein correlations; graph rules to calculate
these correlations even with partial coherence in the core; particle
interferometry in $e^+e^-$ collisions including the Andersson-Hofmann model;
invariant Buda-Lund particle interferometry; Buda-Lund, Bertsch-Pratt and
Yano-Koonin-Podgoretskii parameterizations; Buda-Lund hydro model and its
applications to (\pi/K)+p and Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS, as well as to low
energy heavy ion collisions; binary source formalism and the related
oscillations in the two-particle Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac correlation
functions; experimental signs of expanding rings of fire and shells of fire in
particle and heavy ion physics and their similarity to planetary nebulae in
stellar astronomy; signal of partial restoration of the U_A(1) symmetry
restoration in the two-pion correlation function; back-to-back correlations of
bosons with in-medium mass modifications; and the analytic solution of the
pion-laser model.
