Transition Temperature of Dilute, Weakly Repulsive Bose Gas

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

Within a quasiparticle framework, we reconsider the issue of computing the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature (TcT_c) in a weakly non-ideal Bose gas. The main result of this and previous investigations is that TcT_c increases with the scattering length aa, with the leading dependence being either linear or log-linear in aa. The calculation of TcT_c reduces to that of computing the excitation spectrum near the transition. We report two approaches to regularizing the infrared divergence at the transition point. One leads to a alnaa\sqrt{|\ln{a}|}-like shift in TcT_c, and the other allows numerical calculations for the shift.
