Solitons for nearly integrable bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
Using the explicit forms of eigenstates for linearized operator related to a matrix version of Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, soliton perturbation theory is developed for the $F=1$ bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. A small disturbance of the integrability condition can be considered as a small correction to the integrable equation. By choosing appropriate perturbation, the soli...
متن کاملBOSE-EINSTEIN CORRELATIONS IN PION PRODUCTION AT TRISTAN
Measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations in the production of like-signed pion pairs has been made with the AMY detector at TRISTAN. An event sample of 10120 hadronic events with ranging between 50 to 61 GeV was used. These measurements indicate a strength of the enhancement of ? = 0.61M.07, with a typical correlation size of Ro = 1.16±.08 fm. This value of ? is consistent with measurem...
متن کاملManipulating Bose-Einstein condensates with laser light
A dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensate was probed and manipulated by off-resonant laser beams. Spontaneous and stimulated off-resonant light scatterings were studied experimentally. Stimulated, two-photon Bragg scattering was used for spectroscopic measurement of the mean-field energy and of the intrinsic momentum uncertainty of the condensate. The high momentum and energy resolution of this met...
متن کاملSecond-order coherence of a Bose-Einstein condensate
The interference observed between two Bose-Einstein condensates demonstrated clearly the long-range coherence of a Bose condensate [1]. The fringe contrast is directly related to first-order coherence. Our paper [2] showed that previous measurements of the interaction energy of a condensate can be reinterpreted as a measure for second-order coherence and therefore provide direct evidence for th...
متن کاملBose-Einstein Condensation Measurements and Superflow in Condensed Helium
We review the formulation and measurement of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in liquid and solid helium. BEC is defined for a Bose gas and subsequently for interacting systems via the one-body density matrix (OBDM) valid for both uniform and non-uniform systems. The connection between the phase coherence created by BEC and superflow is made. Recent measurements show that the condensate fractio...
متن کاملAtom–Molecule Coherence Near a Feshbach Resonance in a Bose-Einstein Condensate
Atom–molecule coherence in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) has been demonstrated. Sudden changes were made to the magnetic field near a Feshbach resonance such that oscillations between atomic and molecular states were excited. The frequency of these oscillations was measured over a large range of magnetic fields and was found to be in excellent quantitative agreement with the predicted energy...
