We calculate the visibility of the interference pattern, introduce a characteristic temperature that defines the onset to decoherence and scrutinize the conditions that must be satisfied for an interference experiment to be possible. PACS numbers: 03.75.-b; 03.65.Yz; 82.60.Qr; 03.75.Dg Introduction - Interference is one of the most charac- teristic traits of quantum systems. As Dirac clarified [1], this phenomenon is rooted in the superposition principle, according to which different states of a single quantum mechanical particle interfere with each other. The sim- plest case is that of two states: double slit interference has been observed with photons, electrons, neutrons, atoms and small molecules [2], and recently even with large molecular clusters [3]. Our comprehension of the quantum mechanical world has been shaped, to a large extent, by the ideas that motivated these experiments. Quantum particles interfere, but classical particles do not, and it is not easy to understand where the borderline has to be placed. The size of the interfering system plays an important role, but it is certainly not the only rele- vant variable: for example, double slit interference has been observed with molecules, but not with protons. In this Letter we will analyze the interference of mesoscopic systems, endowed with an internal structure which leads to entanglement with their environment (e.g., via pho- ton emission). An example is a fulle
