    "abstract": "We use the covariant current formalism to derive the general form of the\n2-photon correlation function for fully chaotic sources. Motivated by the\nrecent discussion in the literature we concentrate on the effects from the\nphoton spin on the correlator. We show that for locally thermalized expanding\nsources, like those expected to be created in relativistic heavy ion\ncollisions, the only change relative to 2-pion interferometry is a statistical\nfactor 1/2 for the overall strength of the correlation which results from the\nexperimental averaging over the photon spin.",
