The phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation is traditionally associated with and experimentally verified for low temperatures: either of nano-Kelvin scale for alkali atoms [1-3] or room temperatures for quasi-particles [4,5] or photons in…

We study the impact of pions in simulations of neutron star mergers and explore the impact on gravitational-wave observables. We model charged and neutral pions as a non-interacting Boson gas with a chosen, constant effective mass. We add…

In hadronic Z decays, we compare Bose-Einstein correlations in \Pgpz pairs with those in identical charged pion pairs. We also measure Bose-Einstein correlations in triplets of identical charged pions. From the first study, the source…
Evading the Mermin-Wagner-Hohenberg no-go theorem and revisiting with rigor the ideal Bose gas confined in a square box, we explore a discrete phase transition in two spatial dimensions. Through both analytic and numerical methods we verify…
In this work we analyze a non--interacting one dimensional polymer Bose--Einstein condensate in an harmonic trap within the semiclassical approximation. We use an effective Hamiltonian coming from the polymer quantization that arises in…

Boson stars arise as solutions of a massive complex scalar field coupled to gravity. A variety of scalar potentials, giving rise to different types of boson stars, have been studied in the literature. Here we study instead the effect of…
Bose-Einstein condensation has in the last two decades been observed in cold atomic gases and in solid-state physics quasiparticles, exciton-polaritons and magnons, respectively. The perhaps most widely known example of a bosonic gas,…
A recently obtained exact analytic solution to the wave-packet version of the pion-laser model is presented. In the rare gas limit, a thermal behaviour is found while the dense gas limiting case corresponds to Bose-Einstein condensation of…
A new model of charged compact star is reported by solving the Einstein-Maxwell field equations by choosing a suitable form of radial pressure. The model parameters $\rho$, $p_r$, $p_{\perp}$ and $E^{2}$ are in closed form and all are well…
The stability of the recently proposed static solutions for boson stars is analyzed. These solutions of Einstein-Klein-Gordon (EKG) equations arise from considering the interaction of a real scalar field with matter. We assume that the…
The excess number of atoms around an ion immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate is determined as a function of the condensate density far from the ion. We use thermodynamic arguments to demonstrate that in the limit of low densities the…
