As an alternative method to lattice and perturbative QCD we suggest to include the gluon condensate into the parton propagators [1]. In this way non-perturbative effects are taken into account within the Green functions technique. In the case of a pure gluon gas with energy density ǫ and pressure p the gluon condensate can be related to the interaction measure ∆ = (ǫ− 3p)/T 4 via [2] 〈G〉T = 〈G〉...

The cubic nonlinear Schrr odinger equation with repulsive nonlinearity and elliptic function potential in two-dimensions models a repulsive dilute gas Bose{Einstein condensate in a lattice potential. A family of exact stationary solutions is presented and its stability is examined using analytical and numerical methods. All stable trivial-phase solutions are oo-set from the zero level. Our resu...

We report the creation of a Bose-Einstein condensate using buffer-gas cooling, the first realization of BEC using a broadly general method which relies neither on laser cooling nor unique atom-surface properties. Metastable helium (He*) is buffer-gas cooled, magnetically trapped, and evaporatively cooled to quantum degeneracy. 10 atoms are initially trapped, leading to Bose-Einstein condensatio...

Stimulated small-angle light scattering was used to measure the structure factor of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the phonon regime. The excitation strength for phonons was found to be significantly reduced from that of free particles, revealing the presence of correlated pair excitations and quantum depletion in the condensate. The Bragg resonance line strength and line shift agreed with predi...

For spin one atoms localized in a quadrapole magnetic field gradient, the atoms may be impeded from spin flipping their way out from the center of the trap by the application of a rotating uniform magnetic field. From a quantum mechanical viewpoint, such a trap for a Bose condensate is equivalent to having a superfluid in a rotating bucket. Vorticity is then expected to be induced in the conden...

Condensate banking around wellbores can significantly shorten the production from gas-condensate reservoirs. Several approaches to mitigate this issue have been proposed in literature, among which gas injection comes out with promising results. This method’s efficiency has largely investigated at core and field scales, but underlying flow phenomena taking place pore-scale are still poorly under...
