Se p 19 96 Can We Distinguish Between the Grand Canonical and the Canonical Ensemble in a BEC Experiment ?

چکیده
For ensemble of bosons trapped in a 1D harmonic potential well we have found an analytical formula for the canonical partition function and shown that, for 100 trapped atoms, the discrepancy between the grand canonical and the canonical predictions for the condensate fraction reaches 10% in the vicinity of the Bose-Einstein threshold. This discrepancy decreases only logarithmically as the number of atoms increases. Furthermore we investigate numerically the case of a 3D " cigar-shape " trap in the range of parameters corresponding to current BEC experiments.

متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation without chemical potential
Large-volume, high-temperature Bose-Einstein condensation is illustrated for a relativistic O(2)-invariant scalar field with fixed charge using the canonical ensemble. The standard, grand canonical results are reproduced for the infinite-volume limit. Finite-volume corrections are calculated and the results are found to differ from the grand canonical approximation in a consistent qualitative w...
متن کاملCanonical thermostatics of ideal gas in the frame work of generalized uncertainty principle
The statistical consequences of minimal length supposition are investigated for a canonical ensemble of ideal gas. These effects are encoded in the so-called Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) of the second order. In the frame work of the considered GUP scenario, a unique partition function is obtained by using of two different methods of quantum and classical approaches. It should be noti...
متن کاملExpanded grand canonical and Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation of polymers
A novel formalism is presented for simulation of polymers in expanded grand canonical and expanded Gibbs ensembles. Molecular creation and destruction attempts are replaced by transition attempts between states of a tagged chain of variable length. Results are presented for expanded grand canonical simulations of hard-core chain fluids in the bulk and in a slit pore and for expanded Gibbs ensem...
متن کاملThermodynamics of the noninteracting Bose gas in a two-dimensional box.
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of a noninteracting Bose gas of N particles in a two-dimensional box with Dirichlet boundary conditions is studied. Confirming previous work, we find that BEC occurs at finite N at low temperatures T without the occurrence of a phase transition. The conventionally-defined transition temperature T(E) for an infinite three-dimensional (3D) system is shown to corre...
