A modified N-particle Bell theorem, the corresponding optical experiment and its classical model

Abstract An iteration definition of the N-particle Bell observable SN is proposed. The corresponding optical interference experiment and its classical counterpart are analyzed. In both cases a perfect correlation, En=±1, can be observed. It is argued that the no-hidden-variables effects cannot be demonstrated in single runs, without accumulating statistical data.
