Many-body T-matrix of a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov formalism

In a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate the reduction in dimensionality fundamentally influences collisions between the atoms. In the crossover regime from three to two dimensions several scattering parameters have been considered. However, finite temperature results are more difficult to obtain. In this work we present the many-body T-matrix at finite temperatures within a gapless Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach and compare to zero and finite temperature results obtained using different approaches. A semi-classical renormalization method is used to remove the ultra-violet divergence of the anomalous average. PACS numbers: 03.65.Nk, 03.75.Hh, 03.75.Nt, 05.30.Jp Submitted to: J. Phys. B: At. Mol.
