Thermalisation paper submitted!

Abstract: We experimentally and numerically investigate thermalization processes of a trapped 87Rb Bose gas, initially prepared in a non-equilibrium state through partial Bragg diffraction of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The system evolves in a Gaussian potential, where we observe the destruction of the BEC due to collisions, and subsequent growth of a new condensed fraction… Continue Reading Thermalisation paper submitted!
