In this paper, the advantages of pion versus kaon interferometry as a measure to probe the degree of source coherence are studied by a expanding boson gas model with a harmonic oscillator potential. We investigate the conditions about occurrence of Bose–Einstein condensation and analyze its impacts on the chaotic parameter λ. The results indicate that this finite condensation for pion system decreases the value of λ, but influence slightly for kaon system.

The q-deformed Bose–Einstein distribution is used to study the Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of a q-deformed Bose gas in random box. It is shown that the BEC transition temperature is lowered due to random boundary conditions. The effects of q-deformation on the properties of the system are also discussed. We find some properties of a q-deformed Bose gas, which are different from those of an ordinary Bose gas. Similar results are also shown for q-bosons confined in a harmonic oscillator potential well.

Abstract We study Bose-Einstein condensation of comparatively small numbers of atoms trapped by a three-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. Under the assumption that grand canonical statis­tics applies, we derive analytical expressions for the condensation temperature, the ground state occupation, and the specific heat capacity. For a gas of TV atoms the condensation temperature is proportional to N1/3, apart from a downward shift of order N-1/3. A signature of the condensation is a pronounced peak of the heat capacity. For not too small N the heat capacity is nearly discon­tinuous at the onset of condensation; the magnitude of the jump is about 6.6 N k. Our continuum approximations are derived with the help of the proper density of states which allows us to calculate finite-AT-corrections, and checked against numerical computations.

We study the thermodynamic properties and the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) for a finite num-ber N of identical non-interacting bosons in the field of a deep symmetric double-well potential (SDWP). The temperature dependence of the heat capacity C(T) at low temperatures is analyzed, and we derive several generic results which are valid when the energy difference between the first two excited states is sufficiently large. We also investigate numerically the properties of non-interacting bosons in three-dimensional superpositions of deep quartic SDWP's. At low temperatures, we find that C(T) displays microstructures which are sensitive to the value of N and the thermal variation of the condensate frac-tion shows a characteristic plateau. The origin of these features is discussed, and some general conclu-sions are drawn.
