Finite-size effects on the Bose-Einstein condensation critical temperature in a harmonic trap

Quantum Gases 2016-03-28 v1 Quantum Physics

Abstract

We obtain second and higher order corrections to the shift of the Bose-Einstein critical temperature due to finite-size effects. The confinement is that of a harmonic trap with general anisotropy. Numerical work shows the high accuracy of our expressions. We draw attention to a subtlety involved in the consideration of experimental values of the critical temperature in connection with analytical expressions for the finite-size corrections.
