Second-order virial expansion for an atomic gas in a harmonic waveguide (1603.07469v2)
Published 24 Mar 2016 in cond-mat.quant-gas and quant-ph
Abstract: The virial expansion for cold two-component Fermi and Bose atomic gases is considered in the presence of a waveguide and in the vicinity of a Feshbach resonance. The interaction between atoms and the coupling with the Feshbach molecules is modeled using a quantitative separable two-channel model. The scattering phase-shift in an atomic waveguide is defined. This permits us to extend the Beth-Uhlenbeck formula for the second-order virial coefficient to this inhomogeneous case.
