โฆ Synopsis
Recent experimental tests of the symmetrization postulate of quantum mechanics are discussed. It is shown that in a strict sense these experiments cannot test the validity of the symmetrization postulate, but in most cases do test the spin-statistics connection. An experiment is proposed that would allow to search for possible violations of the symmetrization postulate.
