2) The particles obey Bose statistics. We have

The configurations are shown in Fig. 2.25(b).

3) The particles obey Boltzmann statistics. We have

The configurations are shown in Fig. 2.25(c).

(b) When the non-degeneracy condition is satisfied, i.e., when. e-a w

<< 1, the indistinguishability of particles becomes unim-

port&nt and Ferrnions and Bosons can be treated as Boltzmann particles.
