Bose-Einstein condensation of a Knudsen gas
We reconcile a long-standing controversy regarding the transition temperature of the Bose-Einstein condensation in a dilute interacting Bose gas, by showing that there is a crossover between ideal gas and interacting gas. The former corresponds to a Knudsen (or collisionless) regime, in which the mean-free-path is much larger than the system dimension, while the latter corresponds to the opposi...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation of atoms in a uniform potential.
We have observed the Bose-Einstein condensation of an atomic gas in the (quasi)uniform three-dimensional potential of an optical box trap. Condensation is seen in the bimodal momentum distribution and the anisotropic time-of-flight expansion of the condensate. The critical temperature agrees with the theoretical prediction for a uniform Bose gas. The momentum distribution of a noncondensed quan...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation of atoms in a trap.
We point out that the local density approximation (LDA) of Oliva is an adaptation of the Thomas-Fermi method, and is a good approximation when ε = ¯ hω/kT << 1. For the case of scattering length a > 0, the LDA leads to a quantitative result (14') easily checked by experiments. Critical remarks are made about the physics of the many body problem in terms of the scattering length a.
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation in the relativistic ideal Bose gas.
The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) critical temperature in a relativistic ideal Bose gas of identical bosons, with and without the antibosons expected to be pair-produced abundantly at sufficiently hot temperatures, is exactly calculated for all boson number densities, all boson point rest masses, and all temperatures. The Helmholtz free energy at the critical BEC temperature is lower with an...
متن کاملExperimental studies of Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas
Because of the wealth of new phenomena which the condensates display, and the precision and flexibility with which they can be manipulated, interest in them has grown explosively in communities of atomic physics, quantum optics, and many-body physics. At least twenty groups have created condensates, and the publication rate on BoseEinstein condensation has soared following the discovery of the ...
