Dynamics of evaporative cooling for Bose-Einstein condensation

Physical Review A - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics 56:1 (1997) 560-569

Authors:

H Wu, E Arimondo, CJ Foot

Abstract:

We have simulated the evaporative cooling of a dilute gas of Bose particles including quantum statistics using a Monte Carlo method. This approach can model situations which are far away from quasiequilibrium such as occur during forced evaporative cooling. We have also simulated the dynamical formation of Bose-Einstein condensate for homogeneous and inhomogeneous Bose gases under the random-phase approximation. It was found that the rate of accumulation of Bose particles into low-energy states through collisions is increased by forced evaporation; and a macroscopic population at ground state can be reached at a time scale characterized by classical collision time for an inhomogeneous gas in a harmonic potential. We present the results of simulations for the evaporative cooling and formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate in one-, two-, and three-dimensional position cuts and energy cuts. © 1997 The American Physical Society.

Nonequilibrium evolution of a trapped Bose gas

Conference on Quantum Electronics and Laser Science (QELS) - Technical Digest Series 12 (1997) 28-29

Authors:

H Wu, E Arimondo, CJ Foot

Abstract:

An investigation focusing on the nonequilibrium evolution of a trapped Bose gas revealed that the formation of a Bose gas can be classified into three stages, namely: kinetic evolution; the formation of short range order; and the off-diagonal long-range order. Using a homogeneous gas consisting of sodium atoms. The evolution of non-Gaussian velocity distribution was observed. This indicates the accumulation of Bose particles at low energy states, but not necessarily the signature of the appearance of a macroscopic Bose-Einstein condensate. The condensate fraction will be very small when the ensemble of sodium atoms magnetically trapped in a harmonic potential is considered.

Abstract:

We have searched for the decay of the [Formula presented] lepton into seven charged particles and zero or one [Formula presented]. The data used in the search were collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.61 [Formula presented]. No evidence for a signal is found. Assuming all the charged particles are pions, we set an upper limit on the branching fraction [Formula presented] at the 90% confidence level. This limit represents a significant improvement over the previous limit. © 1997 The American Physical Society.
